Rent & eviction protection

Is 7627-7629 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.

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 two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 7627-7629 Geary Boulevard in the Outer Richmond, built in 1926, has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, between 2007-2009, a comprehensive renovation was completed on the second-floor unit, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work totaling approximately $54,000. Recent improvements include the installation of new patio sliding doors and windows in 2012, and electrical service upgrades in 2008 that included a 200-amp panel installation with four meters for garage service. The building has had some maintenance challenges, particularly related to pest issues in the early 1990s, with records showing termite damage repairs in 1992, though no subsequent problems have been reported.

The property has experienced minimal building code complaints, with only one notable electrical-related complaint in 2017 regarding a floodlight installation. While there have been numerous 311 calls in the vicinity of the building over the past year (2023-2024), these primarily relate to street cleaning and sanitation issues rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent calls have primarily concerned general street cleaning matters, including reports of garbage and debris on the sidewalk, which were all resolved by city services. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep, with the most recent significant improvements being focused on exterior and communal areas rather than individual units.

Risk rating

How 7627-7629 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
26thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 770 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
