Rent & eviction protection

Is 267-275 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 1908
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 1908
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 four-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 267-275 Liberty Street in Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights was constructed in 1908 and is currently managed by CBD Property Management LLC. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance matters over the years, with the most recent issues occurring in March 2023 when multiple violations were identified, including improper storage, failure to provide a gas utility shutoff tool, and missing compliance affidavits for smoke/carbon detectors and Section 604 requirements. The property was previously cited in the fall of 2014 for not submitting the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program documentation, which is crucial for earthquake safety compliance. Historical records show various structural improvements, including a reroofing project in 2013 costing over $20,000, replacement of failed retaining walls in 2000, and termite repairs in 1985. The building has maintained its basic safety systems, though there was one fire safety violation in 2004 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance that was promptly resolved. Recent utility-related service requests and parking violations have primarily involved public infrastructure rather than building-specific issues, and there have been no major incidents or habitability concerns reported through the 311 system in recent years. The most recent building inspection in 2011 found no violations, though the 2023 compliance issues indicate ongoing oversight challenges.

Risk rating

How 267-275 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
26thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 946 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.

Neighborhood location

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

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