Rent & eviction protection

Is 177 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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 177 Crown Terrace, owned by Anne Wong and constructed in 1951, has undergone numerous maintenance and safety improvements over the years, with significant attention to structural integrity and resident safety. Most recently, in 2023, the building addressed multiple violations from January 2023 related to safety and maintenance issues, including fire safety requirements, window repairs, and roof deck maintenance, all of which were abated by September 2023. The building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2016, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent improvements include balcony safety enhancements in 2023 (adding mesh netting to exterior railings) and reroofing work. The property has a history of addressing dry rot issues in various units and performing substantial upgrades to unit #1, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements in 2015. The building's fire safety systems have been regularly maintained, with multiple fire alarm system activations recorded (typically due to malfunction rather than actual fires) and occasional fire extinguisher inspections. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including balcony repairs and plumbing work in multiple units, these have generally been addressed through proper permits and inspections. The property has undergone several significant improvements, including a 400amp electrical service upgrade in 2015 and the legalization of unit #10's kitchen in 2013, demonstrating ongoing investment in building infrastructure and resident safety.

Risk rating

How 177 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
15thpercentile

Out of 40 buildings in this neighborhood, 34 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.
