Rent & eviction protection

Is 1276-1280 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1906
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 three-unit residential building at 1276-1280 6th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the 1999 Edholm Family Trust, has a complex history since its construction in 1906. The most recent significant work occurred in late 2018, when the basement floor was repaired and improved, though this project initially prompted a complaint about unauthorized work hours. The building experienced notable issues in 2006, when multiple violations were documented regarding safety and fire codes, including concerns about handrails, fire proofing, and lead paint hazards, all of which were ultimately resolved by September 2007. There have been several maintenance and safety improvement projects over the years, including stair repairs in 2011, basement improvements in 2018, and furnace replacement in 2011. Water damage and mold issues were reported in 2015, and there have been recurring concerns about building inspections and routine maintenance.

Recent activity at the property has focused on exterior and structural improvements, with multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2024 addressing various building maintenance and surrounding infrastructure issues, including sidewalk conditions, parking concerns, and general cleaning needs. The property has had historical issues with building permit compliance, as evidenced by complaints in 2011 and 2018 regarding unauthorized construction work. The only fire incident on record was a smoke or odor removal situation with no civilian injuries reported. While the building's age and history show various maintenance challenges, these have generally been addressed through permits and inspections, with the most recent building permits indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.

Risk rating

How 1276-1280 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 941 are predicted to be safer.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.5%
Moderate concern 23.2%
Severe concern 15.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
