Rent & eviction protection

Is 466-468 8Th Ave 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 1946
2 or more units

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 1946
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-unit residential building at 466-468 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1946, currently owned by Sonny Chu and Joyce C-h Lee F. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to the roof, with the most recent substantial work occurring in July 2019 when a $13,600 roofing project was completed, involving replacement of both flat and shingled sections along with gutter work. This followed earlier roofing projects in 1995 and window installations in 1985-1987, indicating ongoing property upkeep.

The building's recent incident history (2013-2025) has primarily involved exterior and streetscape issues rather than building-specific problems. Recent concerns include multiple reports of parking violations on the nearby sidewalk (January 2025, February 2022), two abandoned vehicle reports (September and July 2021), and a city garbage can overflow (January 2020). Historical infrastructure issues included a pair of sidewalk defect reports in February 2014, which were resolved, and a flickering streetlight complaint in December 2013 that was addressed by PG&E. The property's documented history suggests regular maintenance of structural elements like the roof and windows, with no recorded complaints or violations directly related to the building's internal systems or living conditions.

Risk rating

How 466-468 8Th Ave'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
88thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 207 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
