Rent & eviction protection

Is 699 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 1968

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.

Built 1968
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 three-story, 18-unit apartment building at 699 Arguello Boulevard, owned by Oneill Leonore Trustee, was built in 1968 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015 (Tier 2 status, Work Complete, CFC Issued), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's safety requirements. Recent building maintenance and safety improvements include a 2020 fire alarm system upgrade to meet current fire code requirements, window replacements in 2013 (43 windows), and historical roofing work in both 1996 and 2016. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, including a significant mold problem reported in early 2023, water intrusion issues in 2022, heating system problems, and a period of no hot water affecting all units in early 2022. Multiple building violations were recorded in 2021 relating to fire safety systems, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and other safety requirements, though these were marked as abated. The building has maintained its fire safety systems reasonably well, with fire extinguisher inspections and other fire safety issues typically being corrected promptly. While there have been occasional elevator and security concerns noted, no civilian injuries have been reported in any of the building's fire incidents or responses. The property management has generally responded to most maintenance issues as they arise, though some residents have reported delays in addressing certain problems.

The surrounding area has experienced various urban challenges as evidenced by recent 311 calls, including reports of encampments and street cleaning issues, though these are unrelated to the building's internal operations. The building's extensive permit history shows regular maintenance and updates to meet contemporary building standards, including window upgrades, roofing work, and seismic retrofitting, though there have been periods requiring correction of code violations related to fire safety systems and building maintenance requirements.

Risk rating

How 699 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
0thpercentile

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