Rent & eviction protection

Is 672 Wisconsin 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 1954

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-unit residential building at 672 Wisconsin Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Mario & Emma Brondello Exem, was constructed in 1954 and has experienced several significant maintenance and incident patterns over recent years. The most recent housing-related issue involves peeling paint reported in December 2024, while the building's maintenance history includes a complete reroofing project undertaken in 2012 at a cost of $9,000. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a sewage backup incident in December 2019 requiring attention to the lower lateral system, and a tree root-related sidewalk issue that same month. Several parking-related incidents have been documented, with four separate reports between 2022 and 2024 regarding vehicles parked on sidewalks, resulting in at least two citations. The building's immediate vicinity has seen multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in early 2020, though most were resolved quickly when the vehicles were no longer present. A notable incident of smoke odor was recorded, though fortunately no civilian injuries were reported.

There was a tenant buyout at 674 Wisconsin Street (the adjacent property) in February 2024 involving $63,000 and one tenant, though no buyout activity has been recorded for 672 Wisconsin Street itself. The building's most recent complaints primarily focus on exterior maintenance and parking enforcement, with some ongoing issues as of late 2024, including a public works service request that remains open. The property's historical maintenance record shows regular interactions with city services, though most issues have been addressed promptly through established channels.

Risk rating

How 672 Wisconsin 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
52ndpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 348 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

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

Building age

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