Rent & eviction protection

Is 301 28Th Ave 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 1911

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 1911
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-story, mixed-use building at 6619 California Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1911, contains three residential units and is currently owned by the Wing K Quock Trust. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, most notably a cluster of building violations in 2017 that required attention to building safety and habitability concerns, including repairs to weatherproofing on exterior walls and windows, floor coverings, and the installation of carbon monoxide detectors. These violations, along with associated water leak and mold problems, were all abated by May 2017. More recent issues include a water leak complaint in May 2022 and several plumbing concerns, including the replacement of a water heater in September 2021 and problematic water quality issues in 2021. The building has undergone various structural modifications over its history, including a 1985 one-story addition and partial reroofing work in 2017. A notable recent development is the ongoing work to comply with accessibility requirements, with a permit filed in October 2023 for the installation of a push-button door operator.

The property's approved planning records indicate successful legalization of a third dwelling unit (Unit No. 6623) in 2017, along with various other improvements including facade restoration and stair replacement. The building has experienced a few fire department calls, primarily for equipment problems and alarm malfunctions, though none resulted in civilian injuries. While the property has a history of maintenance issues, most violations and complaints have been resolved through proper channels, though some recent concerns about water quality and leaks persisted for extended periods. The three-unit building is currently focusing on accessibility improvements, as evidenced by the most recent permit application, suggesting ongoing commitment to building maintenance and compliance, though this work has not yet been completed as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 301 28Th Ave'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
3rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2182 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
