Rent & eviction protection

Is 607-609 Frederick 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 1904
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1904
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 607-609 Frederick Street, owned by Erik David and Seema Lindskog, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1904. Most notably, in recent years, there have been multiple updates to the building's infrastructure and amenities, including the installation of washer/dryer units and related plumbing and electrical work between 2022 and 2023, and basement improvements involving sheetrock installation and electrical work in 2021. However, the property has experienced some regulatory and safety concerns, particularly in 2019-2020, when multiple housing violations were recorded, including issues with water damage, mold, flammable storage, damaged windows, and electrical systems. These violations, though all marked as "Not Active" after February 20, 2020, suggest past maintenance challenges.

The building's recent history shows ongoing attention to infrastructure improvements, with several completed permits for plumbing and electrical work in 2022 and 2023. There were also some unauthorized construction activities reported in mid-2021 regarding basement work, which resulted in complaints to building inspectors. The property management has maintained relatively consistent records of addressing violations and completing necessary repairs, though some issues have recurred, such as reports of peeling paint and window problems. Recent concerns from 2023-2025 include a rodent/insect infestation reported in November 2023 and several graffiti incidents near the property, though these are primarily external to the main building. The building has a history of various improvements dating back to 1988, including termite repairs, horizontal additions, and multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels. The most recent major building system upgrades include water heater installation and electrical system improvements in 2022-2023, indicating ongoing efforts to modernize the building's facilities.

Risk rating

How 607-609 Frederick 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
49thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
