Rent & eviction protection

Is 809-811 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 1909
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 1909
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

809 Broderick Street is a 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Dar S Greenberg 2002 Revoc. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, including the installation of a heat pump in September 2024, the addition of 12 new low-frequency horns for enhanced fire safety in July 2024, and the successful completion of the ground-level dwelling unit addition project in 2019 valued at $80,000. Between 2014 and 2018, the building experienced fire damage affecting units 1706 and 1710, necessitating repairs to the roof and plaster, along with subsequent kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units.

The building has raised concerns regarding its seismic safety, with an active complaint from December 2020 citing it as a multi-unit soft-story structure not included in the city's soft-story property mandate, representing a significant hazard. There were multiple construction-related complaints in 2020 regarding loud work and its impact on lighting, though these issues were resolved. Recent inspection records show recurring issues with garbage and debris management, as evidenced by multiple Recology reports in late 2024, including frequent overflowing city garbage cans. The building has also experienced several maintenance-related incidents requiring fire department response, including water leaks, a gas leak, a carbon monoxide detector activation, and multiple false alarms, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent construction work has been properly permitted and documented, including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC improvements, suggesting improved compliance with safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 809-811 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
5thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 757 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
