Rent & eviction protection

Is 82-84 29Th 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 1900

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 property at 82-84 29th Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with three units plus commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Jeffrey Crociani. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, most notably a major stair replacement project in 2011 that followed a Notice of Violation issued in 2007 regarding unsafe egress stairs at the rear of the property. This stair replacement, which cost $8,000, was completed in 2011 and resolved through abatement by 2013. Other maintenance work includes a 2004 reroofing project (with an $8,500 cost) and the installation of a new mop sink in 2020, though the plumbing permit is currently marked as expired.

The building has experienced multiple fire department responses, primarily related to alarm malfunctions (including seven instances of system issues or false alarms) and one elevator rescue, though none resulted in civilian injuries. A notable period of compliance issues occurred in the late 2000s when there were violations related to the stairs that required legal proceedings to resolve. Recent activities at the property include a successful application for limited live performance use in connection with the Rock Bar, which was approved with specific conditions regarding entertainment hours and size limitations. The property has experienced some recent municipal service issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage overflow, illegal parking, and a sewage backup issue in November 2024, all of which were resolved by relevant city agencies.

Risk rating

How 82-84 29Th 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
15thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1085 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
