Rent & eviction protection

Is 66-68 Malta 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 1976

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

The two-family residential building at 66-68 Malta Drive in Glen Park, owned by Alma Chew, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1976. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably in 2018 when unauthorized construction work was performed including concrete pouring at the front, side, and rear of the property. This work led to a complaint investigation and subsequent Notice of Violation (NOV) in October 2018, though the violation is now marked as not active. To address these violations, the owner completed proper permitting and remediation work in late 2018, including concrete work around the property (costing $15,000) and replacement of a rotted rear deck (costing $25,000).

The building's recent service records from 2024-2025 show various maintenance and compliance matters, including a sewer odor issue from the side sewer vent (resolved in November 2024), multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (two resulted in towing), and several parking enforcement calls. A rent board inquiry was received in November 2024 regarding fee housing inventory. The property appears to have recurring issues with parking and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, though these are primarily street-related issues rather than building-specific problems. The most recent planning record from 2018 indicates completed mitigation of the 2018 violations related to pavement in front setback areas.

Risk rating

How 66-68 Malta 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
52ndpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 175 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
