Rent & eviction protection

Is 67-69 Buena Vista Ter 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 1906
2 or more units

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 1906
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 property at 67-69 Buena Vista Terrace is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Thomas C Nicoll 1999 Revoc. The building has undergone several major infrastructure improvements in recent months, including a complete reroofing project ($16,000) in March 2024, water service replacement from meter to house connection ($5,000) in December 2023, and emergency water main replacement in November 2023. An electrical survey inspection was also completed in July 2024. The building had a series of fire safety violations in September 2002, which were promptly addressed and abated by November 2002, including issues with garbage receptacle placement, smoke detectors, fire extinguisher tagging, and smoke enclosure doors.

Recent maintenance concerns have primarily involved tree root damage to the sidewalk, with multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2023 reporting this issue, including open cases noted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in May 2023. The building's historical improvements include the installation of skylights in 1996 and a bathroom remodel and addition in 1991. The property has been subject to routine housing inspections over the years, with the most recent one occurring in January 2015, all of which were resolved as non-active. While there have been several reports of sidewalk issues and tree damage in recent years, the building has generally maintained compliance with safety requirements, particularly following the 2002 fire safety violations which have not recurred in subsequent inspections.

Risk rating

How 67-69 Buena Vista Ter'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
86thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 49 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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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