Rent & eviction protection

Is 65 Blake 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 1959
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1959
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 two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 65 Blake Street, owned by Pui Ling Ivy Wong Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1959 and has experienced several significant events over its history. Most notably, in December 2021, the building sustained damage when a vehicle collided with the front facade, requiring temporary shoring and subsequent repairs to a wooden post and post footing in early 2022 at a cost of $8,000. The building has undergone multiple unit renovations, with substantial improvements made in 2003 including kitchen and bathroom remodels, door replacements, and garage upgrades across various units, along with associated electrical work for new installations. Three fire safety violations were recorded in May 2003 related to fire escape ladders, smoke detectors, and fire extinguisher requirements, though these were resolved by June 2003. A routine housing inspection in 2017 and other periodic inspections have been conducted, with most issues being promptly addressed.

The building's maintenance and compliance history shows attention to necessary repairs and updates, including the installation of a house gas meter in 2010. Recent years have seen several parking-related incidents and waste management issues typical for urban properties, with complaints about driveway blocking (2018, 2020) and waste receptacle management (2014), though these were generally resolved through standard municipal procedures. While there was one electrical-related fire incident reported, no civilian injuries were recorded. The property has maintained active compliance with housing inspections and building code requirements, with violations being addressed in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 65 Blake 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
24thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 207 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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