Rent & eviction protection

Is 1679-1699 Broderick 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 before 1979
Built 1911
2 or more units

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 1911
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, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 1679-1699 Broderick Street in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1911, has undergone several significant improvements and faced specific regulatory requirements over the past few years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft-Story Seismic Retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $60,000 in response to a violation notice, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. The property's maintenance record shows consistent upkeep, with recent work including a $48,500 reroofing project permitted in October 2024, and previous repairs to deteriorating retaining walls completed in 2015.

The building has maintained active compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of fire safety inspections regarding fire extinguishers in 2023 and 2016, though a 2016 complaint was deemed to have "No Merit." While the property has experienced recurring issues with street and sidewalk cleanliness, particularly in recent months with multiple reports of graffiti and debris in October 2024, these external matters are being addressed through proper municipal channels. Historical inspection records indicate regular oversight, with routine safety inspections conducted in 1999 and 2013 showing the building's continued compliance with housing standards. The recent issuance of multiple street space permits in 2019 and the completion of various maintenance tasks suggest active property management, with no currently active violations or complaints on file.

Risk rating

How 1679-1699 Broderick 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
12thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 590 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 size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
