Rent & eviction protection

Is 27-31 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 1900

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-story multi-family residential building at 27-31 Belvedere Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Belvedere27 LLC, has undergone substantial renovations and faced several challenges since its construction in 1900. The property has experienced significant improvements in recent years, with major remodeling projects completed in 2022 and 2019, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, window replacements, and the addition of new bathrooms and laundry facilities. The building's infrastructure received attention with new electrical work in 2022 including installation of numerous fixtures and appliances, and a furnace replacement. However, the property has faced several concerning issues, particularly in 2020 when Unit 29 experienced multiple problems including lack of heat, defective vents, and reports of mold and pest infestations, leading to a series of violations that were eventually abated. Historical records show earlier concerns from 2000-2001 related to safety features such as handrails and fire safety equipment, all of which have been resolved. More recent complaints include a noise complaint in early 2023 regarding construction work and a sewer line issue in 2023, though these appear to be resolved. The building underwent exploratory demolition in 2018 and work continued through 2022, with multiple permits showing substantial investment in upgrading the property, including a $120,000 renovation in 2022. The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, as evidenced by the 311 calls, though these are primarily related to external conditions rather than building systems.

The building's recent history suggests ongoing investment in improvements, with current records showing attention to both interior and exterior maintenance. The most pressing recent issues appear to be confined to external factors such as noise and sanitation concerns in the immediate vicinity, rather than structural or safety problems within the building itself. The extensive renovation work, including multiple completed permits totaling over $230,000 in recent years, indicates active management and maintenance of the property, though there have been periods of significant construction work that impacted residents as noted in recent complaints. The building's age and historic status as a flats and duplex structure have necessitated ongoing updates to maintain modern standards while preserving historical elements.

Risk rating

How 27-31 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
66thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 198 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
