Rent & eviction protection

Is 6027-6029 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 1909

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 1909
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 property at 6027-6029 California Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Georgiana S. Warner. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2009-2011, including a $30,000 remodel of a two-story rear cottage with exterior stairs, new doors, windows, bathroom, and voluntary lateral upgrade. Important infrastructure updates were completed during this period, including a new electrical service meter main installation with 5 meters and 2 new sub-panels, a forced air heating system installation, and plumbing improvements including sewer line repairs and bathroom rough-ins. The rear cottage, originally a temporary structure built after the 1906 earthquake, received comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2010, approximately 450 square feet in size.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with the most recent significant work being a sewer line repair completed in October 2020. The property has a documented history of compliance with safety inspections, though there was a fire safety violation in 2003 regarding an untagged fire extinguisher that was promptly addressed. Earlier complaints from 1994 about inadequate back door security were resolved by May 1995. Recent activity around the property has primarily consisted of routine street cleaning and maintenance issues, with multiple reports of loose garbage between 2018-2023, though these have been consistently addressed. There have been several reports of defaced parking signs in 2022 and 2023, and multiple abandoned vehicle reports in 2018 that were resolved when the vehicles were found to be gone upon inspection or were towed. The extensive renovation work completed between 2009-2011 appears to have significantly improved the building's safety and habitability, with no active violations or complaints currently on record.

Risk rating

How 6027-6029 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
29thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1598 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
