Rent & eviction protection

Is 641-643 Belvedere 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 1965

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 1965
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 2-unit residential building at 641-643 Belvedere Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1965, currently owned by the Selbicky 2003 Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably the replacement of electrical panels in June 2024, including the removal of an outdated Federal Pacific panel, which demonstrates proactive attention to safety and infrastructure maintenance. Historical records show previous building enhancements including sidewalk repairs in 2004, the application of vinyl shingles in 1999, and reroofing work in 1998, though some of these permits expired without completion confirmation.

The building's recent activity has primarily consisted of routine matters such as parking enforcement (most recently in May 2024) and temporary moving-related sign requests (2012-2013). A notable interaction occurred in October 2023 involving the Rent Board, where updated ownership information was confirmed in response to a tenant inquiry. The property has experienced several abandoned vehicle incidents in the vicinity between 2010-2012, with at least one resulting in a tow, though these were not directly related to the building's operations or condition. The maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of the property, with the 2024 electrical panel upgrades being the most significant recent improvement in terms of building systems.

Risk rating

How 641-643 Belvedere 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.
