Rent & eviction protection

Is 61-63 Alpine Ter 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 1906
2 or more units

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 1906
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-family residential building at 61-63 Alpine Terrace in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, owned by the Sam R & Diana H Hunt Trust, is a historically significant structure built in 1906. The building underwent a substantial renovation in 2007-2009, which included a major remodel that expanded garage space, added bathrooms and bedrooms, and installed modern amenities such as a hydronic heating system and elevator. The renovation also included critical safety updates, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system with 49 heads throughout the four-story structure, a new fire monitoring system, and complete electrical rewiring. In 2013, solar panels were installed on the roof, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy.

The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a missing side sewer vent cover reported in February 2024, and another such incident reported in November 2022 that remains open. There were also two water leak incidents reported in January 2020. The building's safety systems appear generally well-maintained, with regular inspections and updates, including the removal of outdated wireless equipment in 2014-2015 and the correction of an alarm system issue in 2015. The property has been involved in multiple 311 calls for various issues, primarily related to parking and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, though these external matters do not directly impact the building's condition or resident experience.

Risk rating

How 61-63 Alpine Ter'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
65thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 123 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age
