Rent & eviction protection

Is 658 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.

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 1908
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 658 6th Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Deborah Fontaine Trust. Built in 1908, the building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2019, substantial updates were performed including kitchen and bathroom renovations, along with comprehensive electrical work including rewiring, installation of a new furnace, and plumbing updates totaling approximately $55,000. Earlier improvements in 2017 involved similar upgrades to Unit A, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical work, and plumbing updates with a total cost of $60,000. The building has a documented history of sewer issues, with two sewage backup incidents reported in 2013 and 2014, and a sewer pipe repair completed in 2008. There were also multiple street space permits issued in 2017 and 2019, suggesting ongoing exterior maintenance or improvements.

Two attempted modernization projects aimed at converting the attic space into an ADU were proposed in 2018-2019 but were either withdrawn or cancelled due to various reasons, including lack of response from the applicant during the UDU screening process. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a roof replacement in 2002 and various electrical system upgrades. The only recorded safety incident was a gas leak, though no civilian injuries were reported. While there have been some street-related issues documented through 311 calls, such as graffiti and loose garbage, these are external to the building itself. The property's records indicate that it has been maintained with regular updates to key systems, though the unsuccessful attempts to legalize the attic unit suggest some historical complexities regarding unit configuration.

Risk rating

How 658 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.

Neighborhood percentile
40thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1034 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
