Rent & eviction protection

Is 4409-4411 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 1908

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 1908
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 4409-4411 Geary Boulevard is a two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1908 and containing two units. The building has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over the past two decades, most notably in recent years where substantial accessibility upgrades were completed in 2022, including the conversion of a second-floor restroom to meet ADA compliance standards with associated electrical work. The commercial portion of the building has seen various transformations, including the conversion from a chiropractic office to a massage establishment in 2011 (operating as "Heaven Wellness Center"), with subsequent modifications including the addition of a sauna room in 2012. The building has a documented history of proper maintenance concerning essential systems, including multiple roofing projects (1991, 2000, 2009) and the installation of a ground floor sprinkler system in 1991, though it's worth noting that two roofing permits from 2009 are listed as "Complete" despite their significant age relative to current records.

Recent municipal service calls indicate ongoing environmental maintenance issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk conditions, debris, and tree root damage. The property has experienced some safety-related incidents, including a fire violation in 2016 and a building complaint in 2022 regarding construction noise and unauthorized work, though these issues were addressed and resolved. There is currently one open noise complaint from January 2025, and while recent 311 calls mainly pertain to street conditions and maintenance rather than building-specific issues, they suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges in the immediate area. The building's current ownership is held in trust by Harry T & Anna C Nomura, and all documented permits and violations appear to have been properly addressed and resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 4409-4411 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
