Rent & eviction protection

Is 225-227 Anzavista Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1948

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1948
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 225-227 Anzavista Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by Paul K & Joanna W Chang Family. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2006-2012. A major renovation project in 2006 included bathroom and bedroom remodeling, beam reinforcement, foundation work, and conversion of the basement to storage rooms, valued at $60,000. This was followed in 2012 by a $12,000 project to address building code complaints, which involved corridor wall work, electrical rewiring, furnace installation, and laundry equipment updates. The building has maintained its infrastructure through various improvements including a 1992 reroofing project, dry-rot repair for front stairs handrail, and multiple interior remodeling projects.

The property experienced some compliance issues in 2011, with complaints filed regarding unauthorized construction and a possible illegal unit with kitchen facilities behind the garage. These issues were resolved in 2012 through proper permitting and inspections, which included extensive electrical work comprising new fixtures, receptacles, appliances, and smoke detectors. More recent building maintenance includes gas line extension work completed in 2022. The property has had relatively few external issues beyond standard urban living concerns, with occasional reports of parking violations, street light outages, and waste management issues, all of which were resolved through normal city processes. A cancelled permit application for a horizontal addition from 1991 and an expired permit from 1982 are also on record, but these are no longer relevant to the current condition of the building.

Risk rating

How 225-227 Anzavista Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
80thpercentile
