Rent & eviction protection

Is 412 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1972
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.

Built 1972
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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 412 Arguello Blvd, owned by Alejandra B Sabiniano Lvg T and constructed in 1972, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building received a new roof in December 2024 (completed at a cost of $18,000) and underwent foundation underpinning in October 2023 (completed at a cost of $25,000). In 2018, two new furnaces were installed in units 1 and 3, though this period also marked the beginning of numerous active building violations that remain unresolved as of 2023. These violations, originating from late 2018, include issues with smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, handrail repairs, ventilation fans, combustible storage, interior surfaces (including floors and walls), plumbing fixtures, and security features such as self-closing doors. The building has also experienced two fire-related incidents: one involving a carbon monoxide detector activation with no CO detected, and another false alarm incident.

Recent history shows ongoing maintenance attention to the property, including tree maintenance and various exterior-related issues as documented in 311 calls. In late 2024, there were reports of overgrown trees and property damage, while multiple instances of garbage, debris, and graffiti issues have been recorded in recent years, particularly in 2024. The building's safety systems received some upgrades, including the replacement of furnaces in 2018, but the persistence of multiple active violations from 2018 suggests ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges. The property has been subject to routine housing inspections over the years, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in late 2018. While recent permits indicate some positive maintenance efforts, the building's documented history suggests that several basic safety and maintenance issues remain to be fully addressed.

Risk rating

How 412 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

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
66thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 92 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
