289 Graystone Ter

Twin Peaks, SF 94114 2718008 3 units · 2 fl · 1959

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 289 Graystone 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 1959
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.

Built 1959
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-story multi-family residential building at 289 Graystone Terrace in Twin Peaks, owned by Andrew C Long Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1959 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past decades, including a complete reroofing project in 2010 costing $14,132, the installation of 19 energy-efficient vinyl windows in 2007 valued at $12,000, and the replacement of three furnaces in 2012. Historical records show an earlier reroofing project completed in 1991, and an underground conversion project in 2004, though this electrical permit has since expired.

The building has faced some regulatory scrutiny, with a complaint filed in 2006 regarding possible unauthorized construction or modifications behind the garage, though this issue was marked as abated in 2012. A housing inspection case from 2003 is also no longer active. While there have been multiple 311 calls related to general cleaning and maintenance issues in the surrounding area between 2008 and 2020, including reports of loose garbage and one instance of vandalized tree damage in 2012, these appear to be neighborhood-level concerns rather than direct building-related issues. The property has recorded two fire department responses for medical assists, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with significant investments in windows, roofing, and heating systems over the years, indicating ongoing commitment to maintaining the property's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 289 Graystone 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
76thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 41 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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