Rent & eviction protection

Is 667 Arguello 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 1924

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1924
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 667 Arguello Blvd in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1924, currently owned by Richard Pung Lum Lee and Kit N. The property has undergone several notable maintenance and improvement projects over the past few years, most recently including a complete sewer pipe and house trap replacement completed in June 2023, and previously the replacement of seven front windows in 2022 with wood or wood-aluminum casements, a project valued at $8,000.

The building's recent history shows regular upkeep with no major structural or safety concerns, though there have been numerous 311 calls in the area between 2021 and 2025, primarily related to parking issues and street maintenance. Most of these calls have been resolved promptly, including two documented cases of driveway blocking in 2024 and several street maintenance requests. The property has also experienced occasional incidents of graffiti, both on the building and nearby infrastructure, though all reported cases have been resolved. Historical permit records for the property are minimal beyond the recent window and sewer work, suggesting relatively stable maintenance patterns.

Risk rating

How 667 Arguello 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
78thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 379 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)
