Rent & eviction protection

Is 660-662 4Th 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 1908

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 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building at 660-662 4th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1908 and is currently owned by the Jeannie Lee Huey Rev Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including the installation of new vinyl windows in 2004, electrical upgrades with a 175-amp service installation for three meters in late 2004, and a complete reroofing in 2000. The building's most notable period of required corrections occurred in 2004, when multiple fire safety issues were identified, including concerns about emergency exits, the need for fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and repairs to wood stairs along the east side. These violations were all addressed and abated by June 2004 through various repairs, including replacement of damaged rear stairs (a second means of egress) that had been the subject of a complaint.

The building has been subject to routine safety inspections over the years, with findings in 2010 and 2015 noting various fire safety equipment requirements, such as carbon monoxide alarms and fire extinguishers. Earlier historical records show other maintenance work completed, including non-structural repairs to front stairs, landing, and fireplace in 1990, and some painting-related concerns noted in 2010. The property has generally been maintained since the major interventions of the 2004 period, with no active violations on record. There have been several recent pavement defect reports on the surrounding area in 2022-2024, which were addressed by city services, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 660-662 4Th 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
38thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1068 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
