Rent & eviction protection

Is 64 Castle 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.

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 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

The three-story multi-family residential building at 64 Castle Street, located in Telegraph Hill, was constructed in 1906 and contains 5 units, including a public laundry facility. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent work completed in 2020 involving the replacement of 13 aluminum windows with wood-clad windows at a cost of $25,000. Previous renovations include kitchen upgrades (2015-2013), exterior siding replacement (2011), and repair of dry rot in the bay window soffit (2007). The building faced several building violations in 2005 related to fire safety equipment and smoke detection systems, though these were all abated by June 2005. A lead paint-related violation was issued in 2012 regarding weatherproofing on wood trim, and a 2013 complaint noted issues with a leaking laundry facility affecting the foundation.

The property has maintained regular updates and repairs to address various maintenance needs, though there have been recurring issues noted through 311 calls, primarily concerning parking violations and street maintenance matters in the surrounding area. The building's history includes routine inspections dating back to 1996, with all violations being resolved promptly. The most recent significant external work involved window replacements, and the property has generally adhered to maintenance requirements though occasional violations regarding fire safety equipment and weatherproofing have been noted and resolved.

Risk rating

How 64 Castle 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
36thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 438 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
