Rent & eviction protection

Is 4932 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 1959
2 or more units

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 1959
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

Located in the Outer Richmond district, 4932 Anza Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1959 and currently owned by 4932 Anza LLC. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair activities over the past three decades, with the most recent major work including reroofing completed in 2017 at a cost of $9,714 and the installation of two replacement windows on the street side in 2017 costing $5,000. The building experienced notable structural concerns in 2007 when a stability issue was reported regarding a front beam, leading to inspection findings of stucco cracks and subsequent dry rot repairs costing $3,500. Multiple housing-related violations were documented during this period, including issues with fire safety elements such as the fire escape drop ladder, directional signs, and egress obstructions, all of which were officially abated by August 2008.

The property has a history of various maintenance issues and inspections, with routine housing inspections taking place in 1998, 2007, and a complaint regarding auto repair activities in 2013. More recent history includes parking enforcement issues in 2019, garbage-related incidents in 2022, and occasional reports of sidewalk cleanliness needs. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to structural and safety issues, with repairs and improvements carried out as needed, though some historical violations raised concerns about fire safety and sanitation that required official intervention. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since the resolution of 2007 violations, with no active violations on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 4932 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 707 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
