Rent & eviction protection

Is 7333 Geary Blvd 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 1921
2 or more units

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

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.

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-story, five-unit apartment building at 7333 Geary Blvd in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1921, has undergone several significant modifications and faced various regulatory challenges over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2023, after a violation notice was issued in 2021 for failure to complete the required seismic safety work. This retrofit, which cost approximately $130,000, was necessary due to the building's classification as Tier 3 under the city's earthquake safety program, and was completed with a Certificate of Final Completion issued by DBI.

The property has seen multiple proposals for accessory dwelling unit (ADU) conversions, including attempts to convert the garage into a 316 sq. ft. ADU in early 2024 (both permits were ultimately cancelled) and a more ambitious plan in 2022 to convert the basement and first-floor garage into two ADUs at an estimated cost of $148,858, which was withdrawn prior to approval. The building also experienced a period of administrative citations related to garbage and debris issues in 2024, with several reports between June and December 2024, though most of these were promptly resolved through standard cleaning procedures. A historical fire alarm system issue was noted and corrected in October 2011. The property's record now indicates completed compliance with its major regulatory requirements, including the soft-story retrofit, though the multiple cancelled and withdrawn permits for ADU conversions suggest ongoing challenges in expanding the building's unit capacity.

Risk rating

How 7333 Geary Blvd'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
23rdpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 801 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Director's hearings (past 7 years)

Director's hearings are escalated enforcement actions for buildings that haven't resolved violations — a serious signal.
