Rent & eviction protection

Is 5648-5650 Fulton St 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 1936
2 or more units

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 1936
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

This two-unit residential building, located at 5648-5650 Fulton Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1936, currently owned by Shdj Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably in 2018 when comprehensive upgrades were made including the addition of bathrooms in both units, complete electrical rewiring for the new bathrooms, installation of new lighting and fan fixtures, and a substantial electrical service upgrade with the addition of new subpanels. Prior to that, in 2010, the building benefited from energy-efficient upgrades including the replacement of 19 aluminum windows with fiberglass windows featuring a .40 U-factor rating, along with painting of the front facade.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues in recent years, with a sewer line repair completed in February 2021. More recently, there has been a notable pattern of garbage-related incidents, with multiple 311 calls between December 2024 and January 2025 reporting issues with abandoned garbage, overflowing city waste containers, and general debris, though all of these cases were marked as resolved. A catch basin maintenance issue was also reported and resolved in December 2024. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, particularly during the 2018 renovation period when significant improvements were made to both units.

Risk rating

How 5648-5650 Fulton St'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
98thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
