Rent & eviction protection

Is 456-460 Broadway 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

The property at 456-460 Broadway is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1906, containing four residential units and commercial space, currently owned by Broadway Liquors & Company. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements in recent years, including a complete electrical systems upgrade with Federal Pacific panel replacements scheduled for October 2024 (three panels completed, one issued), and re-roofing work issued in December 2023 costing $9,800. The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, with all three electrical system violations from 2010, 2013, and 2017 being corrected promptly, though there was one fire violation from 2005 related to exit obstruction, which was subsequently closed.

The property experienced an unauthorized ATM installation in December 2012 that led to multiple code enforcement actions, though this was ultimately resolved by December 2017 through panel replacement work costing $500. Historical records show previous unit renovations, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 1994 ($32,000), and earlier re-roofing work from 1994 as well. More recently, there have been recurring issues with blocked sidewalks and garbage/debris around the property, with multiple reports between May and October 2024, primarily involving unlicensed scooters and waste accumulation, all of which were resolved through appropriate municipal channels. The building's commercial space has maintained its retail grocery store status, with approvals recorded under Health: General / Specialty Grocery regulations. While there were past concerns about unpermitted short-term rentals at 458 Broadway, these issues were resolved and officially closed, and the property currently maintains appropriate commercial and residential permits.

Risk rating

How 456-460 Broadway'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
34thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 451 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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

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