Rent & eviction protection

Is 610-612 Oak 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 1908

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 property at 610-612 Oak Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Yu Junying. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most substantial renovations occurring between 2019-2020 when a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel was completed ($35,000), including plumbing and electrical upgrades with a new 200-amp service installation. This renovation period also saw the installation of new laminate flooring and important foundation work through permeation grouting at substantial depths ($10,000).

The building's history reveals attention to structural integrity, with earlier attempts at foundation work in 2012 and 2010 (though these permits were withdrawn), and maintenance work such as reroofing in 1997-1998. A notable incident occurred in July 2019 when a building complaint was filed regarding possible construction without permits and concerns about a potential illegal unit, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." Most recently, in September 2024, there was a report of a damaged side sewer vent cover that remains open and accepted with the Public Works agency. Additional historical records show past improvements including deck replacements in 1990 and a horizontal addition in 1989, though some proposed rear deck additions were disapproved in planning records.

Risk rating

How 610-612 Oak 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
88thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 123 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
