Rent & eviction protection

Is 648-652 Ashbury 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.

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 1906
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-unit multi-family residential building at 648-652 Ashbury Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Maria Giatrakis, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1906. The most recent renovations include a series of plumbing updates between 2019-2022, featuring the installation of a high-efficiency furnace, a new gas water heater, and house trap replacements. A substantial kitchen and bathroom remodel was completed in 2019, which included electrical upgrades, new fixtures, and a fireplace insert installation with a total cost of approximately $24,000. The building previously received attention in 2006 when substantial electrical work was performed, upgrading the service from 100 to 200 amps and involving significant interior improvements valued at $100,000.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in its history, particularly noted during a 2016 inspection that revealed issues with a broken window, damaged cabinet drawers, and dry rot under a kitchen sink, all of which were addressed and closed by August 2016. Earlier violations from 2000 regarding rodent infestation were resolved by 2001. Since then, the building has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, with no active violations on record. Recent building activity has focused primarily on infrastructure improvements, including multiple street space permits, reroofing work in 2019, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding sidewalk conditions and street cleaning, though these are external to the building itself and have all been resolved by city services.

Risk rating

How 648-652 Ashbury 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
94thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 35 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
