Rent & eviction protection

Is 630 Octavia 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 1962
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1962
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 630 Octavia Street property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by Canakkale Llc. The building is undergoing significant redevelopment, with permits filed in 2022-2023 for the demolition of the existing structure and construction of a new mixed-use building, comprising 40 residential units, retail space, and parking. The demolition and construction project is substantial, with estimated costs exceeding $24 million and $795,000 respectively for shoring and excavation work. Historical records show several routine safety inspections from 1999-2010, with a notable plumbing issue reported in January 2019 involving a year-long leak affecting the garage area, though this complaint was abated by February 2019. The property has also undergone street space and sidewalk repairs in 2012, and there was a ventilation code violation involving aluminum foil flutes reported and resolved in 1994. Recent activity near the property (2020-2023) has primarily involved street cleaning and parking enforcement issues, with no direct complaints or violations related to the building structure or systems during this period. The planning records indicate an informational project review meeting was held to discuss the demolition and adjacent lot combination for the new construction project.

Risk rating

How 630 Octavia 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 698 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
