Rent & eviction protection

Is 62-64 Pixley 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 1926

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 two-unit multi-family residential building at 62-64 Pixley Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Falco Tarnoff Tr, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1926. The building has undergone several significant renovations, most notably in 2009 when both units received complete kitchen and bathroom remodels, including the installation of new skylights and a roof hatch, along with comprehensive updates to electrical systems (including new 100-amp services), plumbing infrastructure (new copper water lines and water heaters), and heating systems. The property has maintained regular upkeep, evidenced by window replacements and stairway improvements completed in 2006, though there was an unpermitted construction issue regarding back stairs reported in September 2021. Several street space permits were obtained between 2009-2011, suggesting minimal disruption to public areas during these works.

Recent concerns have centered on infrastructure issues, with flooding and sewage backup reported in November 2023 affecting both the building and the surrounding street. The building had a combustible materials violation in January 2012 that was promptly corrected the following day. Maintenance and service improvements appear to have been carried out consistently, with the most recent significant building work being the 2009 renovation project costing approximately $80,000. The property has experienced periodic issues with loose garbage on the street, as evidenced by multiple 311 cleaning calls between 2020-2023, which generally seem to be neighborhood-wide concerns rather than specific to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 62-64 Pixley 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
40thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 517 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
