Rent & eviction protection

Is 621 Taylor 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 1913

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 37-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 621 Taylor Street, owned by Hanumandla Reddy Family Rev, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2024, there were serious concerns regarding security and pest infestations, including non-functioning call boxes, unsecured front doors, lack of live-in management, garbage management issues, and a cockroach problem. The building has also faced recurring elevator and fire safety system problems, with multiple complaints in late 2024 regarding elevators not working, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems, along with several fire violations related to elevator quarterly tests and sleeping area requirements from late 2023 to 2024.

Historical maintenance records show various improvement projects between 2007-2017, including unit remodels, bathroom repairs, and kitchen upgrades in multiple units, as well as fire system upgrades and masonry repairs. Several complaints and violations were addressed between 2008-2011 regarding sanitation, fire safety, and building maintenance issues, including problems with garbage receptacles, fire extinguishers, and window repairs. More recent complaints from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, including a 2023 boiler permit renewal issue, plumbing leaks, security concerns, and a history of pest problems. The building has experienced multiple fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and has undergone various fire system modifications and repairs throughout its history.

Risk rating

How 621 Taylor 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 435 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
