Rent & eviction protection

Is 6038-6040 Geary Blvd 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 1904

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 1904
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 6038-6040 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Central Richmond district, built in 1904, consists of two residential units above ground-floor commercial space. Owned by Ronald J & Ruth I Miguel, the property has undergone several notable changes and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Recent improvements include a comprehensive interior and exterior painting project and drywall repairs in March 2022, valued at $1,000. The building has experienced recurring graffiti issues, with documented incidents in 2022-2024, though these cases were resolved under specific COVID-related enforcement suspensions.

In late 2024, the property faced increased urban challenges, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on nearby sidewalks, though these were typically addressed through standard municipal services. A significant potential change is currently under consideration, with a proposal to convert the existing ground-floor flower shop into a daycare center, which has received various planning statuses including "Submitted," "Closed - Approved," and "Closed - Informational." Historical records show previous maintenance issues such as dry rot repair in 1997, kitchen cabinet replacement in 1990, and a combustible materials violation that was corrected in July 2016. The building has experienced several false alarm fire system activations over the years, though none resulted in actual incidents or injuries. Two tenant buyouts were recorded in October 2021, totaling $25,800 for two tenants, and the property has maintained its legacy status as "The Delicate Daisy - House of Flowers."

Risk rating

How 6038-6040 Geary Blvd'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
33rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1508 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.

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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.
