Rent & eviction protection

Is 702 Andover 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 1957

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

702 Andover Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1957 in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood, currently owned by Edward & Cecilia C Geeter. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues and violations, with the most concerning problems emerging between 2015-2017 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsafe conditions including exposed electrical wiring, mold, plumbing problems, and unauthorized occupancy in the garage. During this period, there were also significant violations relating to security (missing door viewers), sanitation issues, and smoke detection system deficiencies, though all these violations were ultimately abated by July 2020.

The building has undergone several major renovations and repairs over its history, including substantial work following a fire incident in 2002 that caused damage to one rental unit, with repairs costing $35,000. The most recent significant improvements occurred in 2010, when both units received various upgrades including electrical rewiring, plumbing updates, and interior improvements totaling $28,000. Historical records show earlier repairs for issues like dry rot (1991), garage door modifications (1997), and roofing work (2002). The property has had periodic maintenance matters since 2020, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding garbage, parking violations, and other neighborhood issues, though these are primarily external to the building itself. The most recent records from 2024 show no active violations or complaints directly related to the building's condition or occupancy.

Risk rating

How 702 Andover 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
73rdpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 345 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.

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.
