Rent & eviction protection

Is 6209-6211 California 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 1922

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 1922
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 6209-6211 California Street in the Central Richmond district is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922, currently owned by the Linda D Moore Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent substantial work being completed in September 2019 - a voluntary seismic bolting installation costing $7,000. Historical maintenance includes window replacements in 2017 (9 wood windows, $15,000) and 2011 (basic window replacement, $6,600), garage-level dry rot repairs in 2013 ($6,000), and vinyl siding installation in 1988.

The building's recent service history shows regular street cleaning needs, with multiple reports of loose garbage between 2017 and 2024, including three incidents in 2024 alone. There was also one parking enforcement incident in May 2024 involving a vehicle on the sidewalk, and a service request regarding an abandoned vehicle in July 2019. A rent board-related customer callback was recorded in January 2022, indicating some matter requiring attention was promptly addressed after property owner payment confirmation. While the property has required periodic maintenance and repairs, there are no recorded safety incidents or building code violations in the available data, and all recent permits have been properly completed.

Risk rating

How 6209-6211 California 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 630 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
