Rent & eviction protection

Is 276 Nevada 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 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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.

Built 1900
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 276 Nevada St in Bernal Heights, built in 1900, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced multiple compliance issues. Most notably, in 2023, the property received a Notice of Violation for unpermitted construction work, including foundation replacement and structural modifications, which remains active as of 2023. Recent permitted improvements include the replacement of 13 front windows (February 2024), full-house siding replacement (October 2024), and substantial mechanical upgrades including the installation of three roof-mounted heat pumps (2023) and replacement of a gas water heater with an 80-gallon heat pump unit (February 2024). The building's heating and cooling systems were significantly upgraded in 2023 with the installation of heat pumps and associated electrical work.

In addition to the construction-related issues, the property has faced several maintenance challenges, including a collapsed sidewalk (reported December 2023) and various sewage and pavement issues. There were also concerns from neighbors regarding the visible installation of industrial-grade heat pumps on the roof in April 2023, though these were subsequently addressed through proper permitting. Two tenant buyouts were recorded for the property, one in 2021 for $50,000 and another in 2022 for $75,000, both involving single tenants. While many recent improvements indicate active property maintenance and upgrading efforts, the ongoing active violations related to unpermitted construction work warrant attention to ensure full regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 276 Nevada 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 983 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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.
