Rent & eviction protection

Is 862-864 Filbert 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 1906
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1906
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

Located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, 862-864 Filbert Street is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Tun Shan Co Inc. The building's history includes several significant structural modifications, notably in 1987-1988 when major work was completed to remove basement posts and support the structure with steel beams, representing a significant improvement to the building's structural integrity. More recently, in 2019, the building underwent lead paint remediation following a complaint about flaking paint that raised lead hazard concerns; this issue was officially abated by October 2019. While the building had one CO detector activation incident noted (which was determined to be due to malfunction, with no civilian injuries reported), these appear to be the only safety-related incidents on record.

The property has had minimal major maintenance work in recent decades, with records showing a reroofing project from 1995 (though this permit eventually expired) and two street space permits issued in 2005 and 2019. Of particular note is a substantial amount of street cleaning activity recorded through 311 calls between 2021 and 2024, with numerous reports of loose garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk areas near the property. While most of these incidents have been promptly resolved, the high number of cleaning requests (totaling at least eight in this period) suggests ongoing challenges with litter management in the immediate vicinity. The most recent building permit activity was a street space permit from September 2019, listed with a minimal cost of $1, which is likely an administrative fee rather than indicating any significant work.

Risk rating

How 862-864 Filbert 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
63rdpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 419 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.
