Rent & eviction protection

Is 630 Leavenworth 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 1918
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 1918
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 7-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 630 Leavenworth Street, owned by Sean Edward Garrett, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple safety and maintenance issues since its construction in 1918. The building has seen substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades, including the installation of a new boiler system for all units in 2013 and various kitchen and bathroom remodels between 2008-2015. Between 2010-2014, multiple units underwent improvements, including a roof replacement in 2014 ($9,800) and repairs to address water leaks on the fifth floor. The property experienced several code compliance issues, particularly regarding boiler permits, with multiple violations recorded between 2006-2010, though these were ultimately resolved. More recently, in 2022, there were concerns about unsecured planter boxes on the penthouse roof, which resulted in multiple complaints. The building had a notable maintenance incident in 2007 when the elevator was reported as out of order, impacting accessibility. Fire safety equipment inspections have also been a recurring focus, with violations noted in 2017 regarding sprinkler service requirements, though these were subsequently abated. Recent months have seen multiple 311 calls regarding street conditions near the property, though these appear to be more related to public space maintenance than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 630 Leavenworth 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
61stpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 175 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
