Rent & eviction protection

Is 21-25 Belvedere 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 1900
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1900
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 21-25 Belvedere Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by the Edward Litke Revocable Trust 1995, has undergone significant recent improvements in 2022 including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovations (valued at $32,000), electrical rewiring of the entire unit, and plumbing upgrades, demonstrating a commitment to modernizing the property. A sewer replacement was completed in April 2021, and street space permits were issued in 2012, showing ongoing maintenance of public infrastructure. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in 2011 when serious problems were reported including mold/mildew, plumbing issues, and pest infestations, though these were addressed within approximately one month. Historical violations from 2000-2006 primarily concerned building maintenance and safety issues, including problems with garbage disposal, door security, interior surfaces, and exterior stairs, all of which have been resolved.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and environmental concerns, with multiple graffiti incidents on nearby public infrastructure reported in late 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. The building has experienced three false fire alarm incidents in the past, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The most recent routine building inspection in 2014 was completed without noted concerns, and there have been no significant resident complaints regarding building conditions in recent years, suggesting improved management and maintenance practices. However, it's worth noting that there have been recent construction-related noise complaints in September 2024, though they were investigated and no violations were found.

Risk rating

How 21-25 Belvedere 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
77thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 134 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
