Rent & eviction protection

Is 120 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 1951
2 or more units
9 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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.

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

120 Graystone Terrace, a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1951, is currently experiencing several significant concerns that impact resident safety and compliance. The property, owned by Ramona M Albright Fmly Tr, is classified as Tier 3 in the Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program and has been cited for non-compliance, with an active violation filed in October 2022 regarding failure to complete required retrofit work and obtain final signoff. While the building underwent substantial improvements in 2021, including kitchen and bathroom renovations ($360,000) across all units, a 400-amp service upgrade, and individual unit rewiring (Units 1-9), the failure to complete the mandatory soft story retrofit remains a pressing issue. The building has had recent violations related to fire safety equipment, including a fire escape violation in 2018, though this was officially abated.

Historical maintenance records show attention to structural integrity, with work completed in 2009 addressing rotted stucco and deck issues. The property has undergone two roof replacements, one in 1990 and another in 1991. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as parking violations, street cleaning, and graffiti, rather than building-specific concerns. While the building has been significantly upgraded in recent years, the outstanding soft story retrofit requirement represents a major compliance gap that affects the building's seismic safety certification, according to San Francisco Building Code requirements. The property has also experienced periodic fire safety equipment inspections and subsequent violations, with varying degrees of resolution.

Risk rating

How 120 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
12thpercentile

Out of 40 buildings in this neighborhood, 35 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
