Rent & eviction protection

Is 70 Crestline Dr 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 1965
2 or more units
14 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1965
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 14-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 70 Crestline Drive in Twin Peaks, owned by Giampaolo Boschetti, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1965. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 costing $250,000, and in 2023 underwent a major fire alarm system upgrade costing $42,200 to comply with current fire code requirements. Electrical system improvements have included adding compatible devices and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas in 2022, as well as historical work on removing obsolete equipment in 2015. The building has a documented history of roof issues, with complaints from the 1990s regarding leaks and mildew problems, though these appear to have been resolved. Recent building violations from 2000 resulted in corrections to fire safety and security systems, and while there have been periodic fire safety complaints (most recently in 2022), the majority were found to have no merit or were promptly corrected.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine inspections and maintenance, with the most recent building complaint filed in January 2023 still showing as active in the Housing Inspection Services system. The property has been subject to various infrastructure proposals over the years, including multiple attempts at lot subdivision and additional construction, though most of these proposals have been withdrawn or marked as informational. A series of 311 calls from 2020-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as parking enforcement, tree maintenance, and graffiti removal, rather than building-specific concerns. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep including roof replacements in the early 1990s and various systems upgrades to maintain compliance with current building codes.

Risk rating

How 70 Crestline Dr'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
27thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 126 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

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