Rent & eviction protection

Is 30-32 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1936
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.

Built 1936
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 30-32 Roosevelt Way, owned by Siu Samantha, was constructed in 1936 and originally contained two residential units. The property has undergone significant modifications over the past several years, with major renovations completed in 2018-2019 that involved extensive bathroom and bedroom reconfigurations, adding multiple bathrooms across all floors, and updating kitchen facilities at a cost of $300,000. Subsequent improvements in 2021 included the installation of water heaters, central heating, and compliance work following physical inspection report #CC-8301, suggesting some level of regulatory oversight may have been required.

Most concerning is a recent pattern of complaints and inspections regarding the building's current use. Between July and August 2023, multiple complaints were filed alleging that the property, zoned for two-family units (RH-2), was operating as an unauthorized boarding house with multiple rental units sharing a kitchen, along with concerns about the building's height exceeding local limits. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure improvements, including the installation of backwater valves and various plumbing updates, though the presence of multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding the surrounding area (including reports of garbage/debris, blocked sidewalks, and parking issues) suggests ongoing neighborhood management challenges. The most recent building permits and inspection records date back to 2021, with no visible violations or active enforcement actions on record as of August 2023, though the status of the boarding house investigation remains unclear.

Risk rating

How 30-32 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
25thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 263 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
