Rent & eviction protection

Is 350 Upper 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 1927
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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 1927
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.

The Wong Living Trust owns this 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 350 Upper Terrace in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood. Built in 1927, the property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2017 when windows and a patio door were replaced at a cost of $13,609. The building has seen substantial upgrades to its mechanical systems, including water heater replacements (most recently in 2021), kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units (2010), and various window replacements. Multiple building permits in 2011 addressed structural issues, including dry rot repairs in front and back walls, stucco repairs, and window modifications.

The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues, though most have been resolved. In 2007, there were violations regarding furnace installation and access requirements, which were abated by October 2007. A 2017 violation regarding sliding door installation was also closed. Recent concerns include open 311 calls from April 2024 regarding tripping hazards caused by uncovered wires and cables, and sidewalk tripping hazards, which are currently unresolved. The building's infrastructure has generally been well-maintained, with regular updates to plumbing and electrical systems, including kitchen and bath remodeling work that incorporated modern fixtures and safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 350 Upper 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
