Rent & eviction protection

Is 667-669 Ofarrell 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 1922
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 13-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 667-669 Ofarrell Street in the Tenderloin, owned by Ofarrell Properties LLC, was constructed in 1922 and has a notable history of both improvements and concerns. The building is currently undergoing renovations, including the conversion of a ground-floor commercial space into a limited-use cafe, with associated electrical and plumbing work permitted in 2023-2024. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, most recently including unpermitted remodeling complaints in 2021, intercom system failures in 2020, and overcrowding concerns in 2018. A series of building violations were documented in early 2015, addressing various maintenance issues that were subsequently abated, including problems with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and sanitation concerns in common areas.

The building has maintained fire safety systems through regular inspections and corrections, with documented fire complaints regarding alarm systems and extinguishers in 2018, 2021, and 2022, all of which were resolved. Historical records show fire damage incidents in 1994 and 2002 that required repairs, as well as multiple change-of-use modifications to the ground-floor commercial space. The property has experienced recurring issues with debris and garbage management as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between December 2024 and January 2025. Recent improvements include plans for a solar domestic hot water system (approved in 1984) and accessibility upgrades completed in 2007. The building's recent history shows active management in addressing maintenance issues, though concerns about unpermitted work and system failures suggest ongoing attention to property maintenance requirements.

Risk rating

How 667-669 Ofarrell 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
76thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 41 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
