Rent & eviction protection

Is 4327 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 before 1979
Built 1916

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

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 4327 California Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1916 and owned by the Pellinacci Family Revocable Trust, this flats and duplex style building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past three decades. Most notably, in 2021, the building received substantial mechanical upgrades including the installation of a heat pump HVAC system and associated electrical work, as well as an electrical service upgrade to 225 amps. The building experienced several important safety and habitability issues in early 2021, with violations filed in March and April of that year related to heating system failures, lead paint hazards, and safety equipment requirements (including carbon monoxide and smoke alarm affidavits). These violations were successfully abated by July 2021, along with necessary repairs including the installation of new heating systems.

The building's historical maintenance record shows previous roofing work in both 1992 and 2005, though these permits have since expired. Recent activity around the property has been documented through 311 calls, with several reports in 2024 related to sidewalk maintenance, street cleaning, and encampment management. As of October 2024, there are three open 311 cases including one regarding hazardous materials (glass) on the street/sidewalk area, though this is not directly related to the building's condition or habitability. The most recent building-related permit activity was for street space use in 2015, suggesting limited required external modifications in recent years.

Risk rating

How 4327 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
19thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1396 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
