Rent & eviction protection

Is 378-380 Liberty 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 before 1979
Built 1952
2 or more units

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 1952
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-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 378-380 Liberty Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by the Carol Montgomery Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1952 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades. Recent improvements include a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2018 for Unit 2, featuring new lighting, switches, receptacles, smoke detectors, and a subpanel installation, along with plumbing work to remodel the kitchen and bathroom and add washer/dryer facilities. Earlier infrastructure upgrades include a complete copper re-piping of the house in 2008 and a roofing project in 2009. Two fire incidents were recorded, both involving false alarms from CO detector and alarm system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported.

The property has experienced a notable series of parking-related issues in recent years, particularly between 2023-2024, with multiple incidents of driveway blocking that resulted in citations being issued or unable to be validated. The surrounding area has also seen various municipal service calls, including street cleaning requests and scooter-related complaints, though these are primarily related to the public space rather than the building itself. While there have been some instances of waste management issues in the vicinity, particularly in 2021, most service calls have been resolved without significant findings. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, with no major system failures or safety violations documented in the available data.

Risk rating

How 378-380 Liberty 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
91stpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 115 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
