Rent & eviction protection

Is 206-208 Willard 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 1940

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 1940
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 property at 206-208 Willard Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, built in 1940 and currently owned by the Reiko Oyama Berger Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial renovations occurring in recent years. In February 2013, both units received kitchen and bathroom upgrades, including new cabinets, countertops, and tiles at a cost of $13,000. Prior to this, in June 2011, the building underwent comprehensive window replacement work, installing 18 new windows (6 in the back and 12 in the front) with energy-efficient features, costing $8,000. An earlier maintenance issue was addressed in January 2005 when dry rot repairs were completed as per a specific report, costing $2,200. The building's roof was reportedly worked on in 1992, though that permit has since expired.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external maintenance and sanitation issues, particularly relating to street cleaning and parking enforcement. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of garbage, debris, and abandoned items in the vicinity, including several cases of loose garbage and abandoned furniture. Parking-related incidents have also been documented, with two specific cases of driveway blocking resulting in citations in 2023, and a sidewalk parking violation in 2021. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's internal conditions, they reflect ongoing neighborhood concerns about street maintenance and parking enforcement in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 206-208 Willard 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
74thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 135 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
