Rent & eviction protection

Is 649-651 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 before 1979
Built 1910
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1910
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 two-unit residential building at 649-651 Belvedere Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910, currently owned by the Dinaburg Revocable Trust 20. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past three decades, with the most recent major work being a sidewalk repair permit issued in March 2004. Notable historical improvements include the installation of a fire sprinkler system in the basement in 1989, the conversion of basement areas including a new playroom and sprinklers for the entire floor in 1988-89, and various stairwell and stair tread renovations in the early 2000s. The property has received regular maintenance attention over the years, including multiple reroofing projects in 1995 and 1998, and structural repairs in 1986 addressing dry rot in the rear stairway and garage improvements.

Recent activity around the property from 2023 to 2025 has primarily consisted of street-level and parking-related issues rather than building-specific problems. There have been multiple parking enforcement calls between 2024 and 2025 regarding blocked driveways, and several municipal service requests including tree maintenance, street cleaning, and garbage receptacle management. These recent calls suggest ongoing attention to exterior maintenance and neighborhood concerns, though none indicate direct problems with the building's structure or systems. The most recent building-specific complaint was related to maintenance on January 14, 2025, though this appears to be a Muni service feedback issue rather than a direct building concern.

Risk rating

How 649-651 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.
