Rent & eviction protection

Is 825-827 Anza St 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 1941
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1941
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 two-unit residential building at 825-827 Anza Street, owned by Lily Li Kyin Wong, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1941 in the Lone Mountain neighborhood. Recent concerns have emerged regarding lead-related work and scaffolding issues in August 2023, with complaints filed about unpermitted lead work, scaffolding at the front, and unauthorized re-roofing. These complaints were addressed through Building Inspection Division intervention, though the lead-related issues remain listed as "Not Active." The property has a documented history of permit activity, including completed window replacements in 2018 ($2,000) and electrical upgrades in 2016 ($15,000), though several permits from 2008 for first-floor remodeling and garage enlargement ($34,000) expired without completion. Past issues include a 1996 complaint about a possible illegal unit that was resolved.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to construction activities and their impacts on public spaces. Notable incidents include sidewalk blockage by construction equipment in August 2023, construction noise complaints in 2019, and a tree root issue causing sidewalk damage reported in June 2023 (still open). Historical maintenance work includes a completed roofing project from 1990, electrical system upgrades in 2008, and various electrical improvements in 2016. The building's recent history shows a pattern of construction-related activities and some regulatory compliance issues, particularly concerning lead work and unpermitted modifications, which have generated multiple complaints and inspection responses in 2023.

Risk rating

How 825-827 Anza St'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
21stpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 410 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
