Rent & eviction protection

Is 623-625 9Th 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 1911

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 1911
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 623-625 9th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by Jennifer J. Bae. Built in 1911 as a flats and duplex structure, the building is undergoing significant recent development with an issued permit in November 2023 for a horizontal addition including an approximately 886 square foot attached ADU, new decks, bay window alterations, and interior remodeling, with an estimated cost of $449,948. The building has undergone several substantial improvements over the past two decades, including window replacements (most recently in 2021 with 9 retrofit fiberglass windows on the 2nd and 3rd stories), a bathroom remodel in 2015, complete reroofing in 2012, and rear stair replacement in 2011. Two plumbing and electrical permits from 2008 document bathroom renovations including fixture relocation and new wiring.

The property has had minimal tenant complaints, with the only recorded building complaint from 2000 regarding inadequate heat, which was promptly addressed. A 2021 fire escape complaint was found to have no merit. While there have been several 311 calls associated with the address between 2013 and 2023, these primarily relate to non-building issues such as parking violations, illegal postings, and street maintenance matters. The most recent building permit activity (2023) indicates ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure and living space, particularly through the new ADU construction. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems and features, including multiple window replacements, bathroom renovations, and structural improvements, suggesting generally responsible property management.

Risk rating

How 623-625 9Th 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
91stpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 155 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
