Rent & eviction protection

Is 147 Crown 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.

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 1951
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, nine-unit multi-family residential building at 147 Crown Terrace in Clarendon Heights, owned by Darren & Valerie H Lee Revo and built in 1951, has undergone several significant improvements and renovations over the past decades. Most recently, in 2024, the building completed a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade to comply with SFFC requirements at a cost of $32,300, and is currently scheduled for reroofing work costing $8,500. The building previously completed a soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $25,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The property has a history of both unit-specific and building-wide improvements, including several apartment renovations (Units 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8) involving kitchen and bathroom updates between 2008 and 2022. However, there are several active concerns that warrant attention, particularly a cluster of fire safety violations from January 2024 regarding combustible storage, lead paint concerns, and sprinkler system issues. The building has experienced multiple fire safety inspections and violations over the years, with the most recent being in October 2024 regarding alarm systems, though most previous violations have been corrected. The property was previously involved in illegal short-term rental activity, which has since been resolved through a settlement agreement. Recent 311 calls from December 2024 to January 2025 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris management around the property, though most of these cases have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 147 Crown 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 40 buildings in this neighborhood, 39 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
