Rent & eviction protection

Is 690 6Th 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 1922
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1922
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 690 6th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Kiandokht Beyzavi and Hamid Ami. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past decades, with the most substantial work occurring in 2011, including a comprehensive kitchen renovation ($18,000) involving electrical and plumbing upgrades, and the replacement of 11 windows with like-for-like wooden installations ($11,000). A series of building violations were documented in early 2016 that required attention to fire safety and structural issues, including the installation of carbon monoxide alarms, repair of wood stairs, and the provision of fire extinguishers. These violations were all officially abated by June 9, 2016.

More recently, the property faced a heating issue in a back room reported in January 2023. The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with earlier records including kitchen hood vent installation in 1987, window replacement in 2011, and historical roofing work from 1997. The property has experienced some infrastructural challenges, including a sewage backup issue reported in June 2022, though this was resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations. Recent years have shown multiple parking-related complaints in the vicinity of the property, with several reports of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, though these are external issues affecting the neighborhood rather than the building itself. While the building has had several routine safety inspections over the years (2003, 2010, and 2016), it appears to have undergone necessary corrections in response to violations, with recent maintenance focusing on addressing heating system needs.

Risk rating

How 690 6Th 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.
