Rent & eviction protection

Is 68-70 Beaver St 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 1917

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

68-70 Beaver Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by Michael D Polansky and constructed in 1917. The property is currently undergoing window improvements, with permits issued in May 2024 for the installation of eight new front windows with true divided lights and top grids, at an estimated cost of $9,000. The building's maintenance history includes a roofing project from May 1999, though this permit has since expired.

The property has experienced several maintenance and enforcement issues over the past few years, with the most recent being multiple complaints about driveway blocking in June 2024, though enforcement officers were either unable to locate the offending vehicles or the complaints were deemed invalid. The building has faced recurring challenges with graffiti and unauthorized postings, with cases reported in 2023 (two instances), 2021 (illegal postings), and 2019 (when the city experienced a backlog of complaints during the COVID-19 pandemic). Infrastructure concerns were documented in November 2019 when there was a report of a collapsed sidewalk near a water utility cover. The location has also experienced occasional sidewalk parking violations, with citations issued in 2023 and 2020. In late 2019, there was a notable issue with the sidewalk condition, specifically relating to asphalt and damage surrounding a water utility cover.

Risk rating

How 68-70 Beaver St'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
87thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 37 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
