Rent & eviction protection

Is 600 Page 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 1927
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

600 Page Street is a 21-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by 600 Page Street LLC. The property has undergone several significant upgrades in recent years to improve safety and compliance with current codes. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, costing $130,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Recent major improvements include a fire alarm system upgrade completed in September 2024 to meet current fire code requirements, and comprehensive electrical system upgrades throughout 2024, including the transition from fuses to circuit breakers in all units and the replacement of the main breaker panel. The building's heating system has also received attention, with the replacement of a 175-gallon water heater storage tank and new steam boiler installation in 2021.

The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding lead paint and building systems. Multiple violations were recorded in 2008-2009 related to lead paint handling during exterior work, and various building systems including the fire escape ladder, gas meter instructions, and stairs had compliance issues that were subsequently addressed. Fire safety has been a particular focus, with regular fire alarm system maintenance and occasional violations related to sleeping area requirements, with the most recent violation still showing as open from December 2023. While the building has experienced several unintentional fire alarm activations and system malfunctions, there have been no actual fire incidents or civilian injuries recorded. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to system upgrades and compliance requirements, though some historical violations related to paint work and building systems took longer to resolve. Recent permits and work indicate ongoing commitment to building maintenance and safety improvements, with most recent complaints and violations being promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 600 Page 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.

Neighborhood percentile
19th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 832 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 17.8%
Moderate concern 36.4%
Severe concern 45.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
