Rent & eviction protection

Is 270-272 Roosevelt Way 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.

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-unit residential building at 270-272 Roosevelt Way, owned by Roxanne Gould, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1927 in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2017 following multiple housing code violations. In 2017, the property received multiple notices of violation (NOV) for various safety and maintenance issues, including problems with fire safety, doors, lighting, security bars, guardrails, dryer ventilation, and wooden steps, as well as water heater installation non-compliance. All these violations were addressed through permits completed between October and November 2017, which included the installation of a dryer vent, replacement of windows and doors, installation of handrails, and updates to meet current safety standards. The building also underwent significant improvements in 2013 with kitchen remodeling work and electrical/plumbing updates valued at $15,000.

More recent history shows some ongoing infrastructure concerns surrounding the property, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk, and a sidewalk defect reported in September 2017 that was subsequently resolved. Earlier improvements included a furnace replacement in 2015, a window upgrade to fire-rated glass in 2011, and multiple other building enhancements between 2011 and 2017. The property had previous issues with illegal property line windows in 2009, which were resolved by 2013. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing code violations and making regular improvements, though there have been periods of multiple violations requiring remediation.

Risk rating

How 270-272 Roosevelt Way'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
60thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 140 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
