Rent & eviction protection

Is 630 Presidio Ave 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 before 1979
Built 1963
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

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 630 Presidio Ave property is a two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1963, currently owned by Macamhlaidh Ciaran & Mcaule. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, most notably during 2019 when multiple active violations were documented regarding building attachments, required inspections, and smoke detector compliance, all of which remain unresolved as of October 2023. These violations were linked to a complaint about structural concerns including a cracked and possibly unstable driveway platform, though some related building work was attempted through permits in 2019-2022. The property has undergone various improvements and modifications, including a substantial renovation project in 2012 that added a new home office space and bathroom, along with deck reinforcement work in 2019 to address safety concerns.

Historical records show consistent maintenance and improvements to individual units, including kitchen upgrades in units 3, 4, and 5 between 2009-2011, bathroom and furnace installations in unit 6 in 2013, and various other structural and safety-related improvements. The building has experienced typical urban issues such as parking enforcement matters and periodic maintenance concerns, with the most recent work order related to moving services in September 2024. Fire safety compliance is actively managed, with records showing correction of inspection issues regarding fire alarms and extinguishers in 2009-2010. The property has undergone multiple routine housing inspections over the years, with some requiring additional follow-up work, particularly regarding building attachment and safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 630 Presidio Ave'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
