Rent & eviction protection

Is 607-619 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.

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 1906
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 three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 607-619 Oak St in Hayes Valley, owned by 400 W 22 Street Corp, was built in 1906 and has undergone several significant upgrades and repairs over the past decade. Most recently, in August 2023, the building underwent comprehensive heating system improvements, including the installation of a new central heating system and removal of the old boiler, with a related November 2023 permit addressing stair/handrail replacement and common area lighting improvements. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with a cost of $82,000) to enhance seismic safety, and has maintained an active record of addressing heating system issues, though recent complaints from 2023-2024 indicate recurring heating problems, with multiple active complaints filed in February 2024 regarding malfunctioning heating systems. The property has also undergone various modernization projects, including a 2019 kitchen and bathroom remodeling (valued at $55,000), 2013 re-roofing work (costing $24,800), and multiple electrical system upgrades in 2011-2012 to improve safety and code compliance, including a significant 250A service upgrade.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to addressing violations and upgrading systems, though recent active complaints regarding heating systems, electrical outlets, and wall/ceiling conditions suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has passed multiple inspections and received certifications for various improvements, including the completion of soft-story retrofit work and the installation of new heating systems. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues outside the building, rather than internal building conditions. The building's permit history demonstrates a pattern of addressing environmental and safety requirements, particularly regarding heating system compliance and seismic retrofitting, though the frequency of heating-related complaints in recent years indicates this remains an area requiring ongoing attention.

Risk rating

How 607-619 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
