Rent & eviction protection

Is 6-12 Leroy Pl 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.

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 two-story multi-family residential building at 6-12 Leroy Place, located in the Nob Hill neighborhood, was built in 1908 and contains 4 units under the ownership of the Watts Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including the complete replacement of front windows on the first two floors in 2019 (cost: $30,000), electrical panel upgrades to Siemens panels completed in January 2024, and various exterior maintenance works such as siding replacement and deck improvements. The building has a history of addressing fire safety concerns, most notably undergoing fire damage repairs in 2004 and completing a series of fire safety compliance issues in 2009, including fire extinguisher requirements and smoke detector installations.

Recent complaints and inspections have focused on various maintenance and regulatory compliance matters, including a 2019 dispute over a potentially unauthorized vent installation, concerns about garbage placement between properties, and a routine housing inspection initiated in 2016 that is currently listed as active. The property has also seen periodic issues with basic building systems and infrastructure, evidenced by the sewer discharge incident reported in November 2024 and various sidewalk cleaning matters documented in 2022-2024. Historical records show the building experienced several housing code violations in 2000 related to safety features such as handrails, building address identification, and fire safety equipment, all of which were subsequently addressed by January 2010.

Risk rating

How 6-12 Leroy Pl'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 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 720 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

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
