Rent & eviction protection

Is 4935 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 1926
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
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 1926
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 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 4935 Anza Street in the Outer Richmond, owned by James R & Marcia Allegretti, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced multiple compliance issues. Built in 1926, the property has completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit program, achieving Tier 3 status with work completed and CFC issued. Recent improvements include foundation strengthening and ground-level soft-story seismic upgrades (October 2024, $70,000), extensive unit renovations across multiple apartments (Units 2, 3, 4, and 6) including electrical, plumbing, kitchen and bathroom upgrades ($195,000 total), new boiler and storage tank (May 2022), and a complete reroofing (October 2023, $15,000). The building's electrical system is also being modernized with a 400-amp overhead service upgrade currently in progress (November 2024).

The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance challenges, including a recent active violation (October 2024) regarding unauthorized work beyond the scope of permitted renovations, specifically involving lath and plaster removal in the garage. Previous issues include a mold and water damage incident in early 2023 (now resolved), and historical problems with water heater functionality in 1996-1998. Two fire safety violations were recorded in late 2018 regarding blocked exits and fire extinguishers, both of which were subsequently abated. The property has also undergone routine housing inspections over the years, with previous issues related to hot water problems and periodic maintenance needs being addressed. With approximately $370,000 invested in recent improvements and ongoing electrical upgrades, the building is undergoing substantial modernization, though some compliance issues remain to be resolved.

Risk rating

How 4935 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
31stpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 718 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
