Rent & eviction protection

Is 7630 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 1958
2 or more units
19 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1958
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 19-unit, 3-story apartment building at 7630 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, built in 1958, has undergone several significant upgrades and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, in May 2024, the building began a fire alarm system upgrade costing $67,896 to install new manual pull stations, smoke detectors, and low-frequency audibles in all units, with the control panel to be monitored through advanced technology. The building has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 2) and achieved Certificate of Final Completion, demonstrating improved seismic safety. Historical maintenance efforts include the legalization of an unwarranted ground floor unit in 2015, kitchen and bathroom upgrades in multiple units (notably Unit #305 in 2016), and significant infrastructure improvements such as dual-pane window replacement (2006) and roof replacement (2006).

The property has experienced various safety and habitability issues, particularly related to fire safety and maintenance. A notable pattern of concerns emerged between 2003-2004 regarding fire escape maintenance, lighting, combustible storage, and egress access, which were subsequently resolved. More recent violations include a December 2023 citation for sleeping area requirements (currently open), and 2018 violations for exits/fire escapes and alarm system maintenance that were abated. The building has faced several tenant-related challenges, including multiple complaints about clutter and hoarding in Unit 104 (most recently in October 2024), and past issues with water damage and mold (2011-2012). Infrastructure maintenance shows a history of attention to fire safety systems, with multiple upgrades to sprinklers, alarms, and other safety features. Recent complaints (2024) have primarily concerned exterior issues such as garbage and debris, with the most recent fire safety concern involving a citation for sleeping area requirements in December 2023.

Risk rating

How 7630 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 978 are predicted to be safer.

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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 29.9%
Moderate concern 50.1%
Severe concern 20.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
