Rent & eviction protection

Is 200 Arguello Blvd 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 1961
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

200 Arguello Boulevard is a 3-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by 200 Arguello G1 LP. The building has undergone significant improvements and faced notable challenges in recent years, most notably a fire incident in June 2021 that affected units 101 and 201, requiring substantial repairs to ceilings, walls, and windows, as well as the replacement of fire-damaged windows and a complete fire alarm system upgrade in late 2021. The building has demonstrated consistent maintenance and upgrading of facilities, with recent work including balcony repairs and coating in April 2024, washer/dryer installations in multiple units (most recently in Unit 104 in 2023), and various unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom updates. The building has completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit as a Tier 3 building and addressed various historical violations related to water damage and fire safety, with all violations officially abated as of January 2022. Recent management activity has focused on improving tenant amenities and addressing maintenance issues, with multiple unit improvements including kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and laundry facility installations being systematically completed. The property has maintained compliance with current building codes and requirements, including the installation of a new fire alarm system in November 2021 to meet updated safety standards.

Risk rating

How 200 Arguello Blvd'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.
