Rent & eviction protection

Is 676-678 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 1978
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 1978
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 multi-family residential building at 676 Belvedere Street, owned by Sauro Jack Giuliami & Joyce, has undergone several significant improvements since 2019, demonstrating active property maintenance and sustainability upgrades. Recent notable work includes the installation of six fiber glass windows in mid-2023, replacing previous aluminum windows at a cost of nearly $20,000, with the work receiving official approval through multiple building permits. The property has also seen substantial mechanical upgrades, including a complete reroofing in 2020 (cost: $13,000), the installation of a 2.835 kW solar PV system in late 2019, and the replacement of a furnace with a 45k BTU unit in December 2022.

The building'smaintenance history shows regular upkeep of both building systems and exterior improvements. A review of 311 calls reveals primarily external issues in 2022-2024, including several reports of abandoned vehicles (all resolved as gone on arrival), a citation for sidewalk parking, and occasional reports of loose garbage requiring cleanup. While there was one incident of graffiti on the sidewalk in late 2022, this was addressed under the city's pandemic-related enforcement suspension. The property has also experienced some administrative matters, including two rent board-related calls in 2024 regarding fee housing inventory requests, which were both resolved.

Risk rating

How 676-678 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
89thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 58 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.
