Rent & eviction protection

Is 2745 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 1963
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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.

Built 1963
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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2745 Anza Street, owned by Nancy Lee Wong Exemption Tr and built in 1963, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding hazardous outlet wiring, plumbing leaks, electrical issues, and mold in an outdated bathroom, which were marked as not active in January 2025. In 2022, the building faced a hoarding situation involving combustible materials in an exit path, which resulted in a fire violation that has since been abated. The building has a documented history of skylight-related issues, with the most recent permit in 2024 for replacing three skylights with energy-efficient units. Historical records show several violations from 2003-2006 regarding fire escape maintenance and various building problems, including electrical receptacles and lead hazard concerns, though these have been resolved.

The property has experienced recurring issues with vehicle parking in the area, with multiple 311 calls regarding blocked driveways between 2020 and 2025, though these are not directly related to building conditions. A significant plumbing upgrade was completed in 2019, involving replacement of sidewalk sewer pipes and house trap. The building's recent permit activity, including the 2024 skylight replacement project, suggests ongoing maintenance efforts by the ownership. While the property has faced numerous maintenance challenges over the years, inspections from 1998-2025 indicate that most violations have been addressed, with the exception of some recent concerns that were marked as not active or resolved through abatement processes.

Risk rating

How 2745 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
34thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1485 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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