Rent & eviction protection

Is 611-617 Waller 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 1900

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 1900
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-unit residential building at 611-617 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1900, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most recently, in 2024, the property has seen substantial work including interior remodeling of unit #615 with a complete bathroom installation ($22,700), and compliance repairs following a notice of enforcement involving sheet rock, kitchen, and bathroom remodeling ($84,315). Additional recent improvements include the installation of a fourth-floor bathroom in August 2024, 4th-floor office renovations with new kitchen and bathroom fixtures in June 2024, and electrical rewiring work. The building has also received important maintenance attention, including window replacement in 2021, siding and window repairs in 2018, and a complete reroofing in 2004.

The property was subject to a housing inspection routine in 2002, which identified several issues regarding stairs, gas shutoff tools, and gas meter instructions - all of which were resolved by June 2003. While there have been multiple 311 calls related to the property, primarily concerning parking violations and debris, these issues appear to be external to the building itself. The most recent building improvements indicate ongoing maintenance and upgrading of facilities, particularly focusing on bathrooms and kitchen areas, with proper permits obtained for all major works. The building's history shows a pattern of proactive maintenance and compliance with building codes, with no active violations on record since 2003.

Risk rating

How 611-617 Waller 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.

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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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