Rent & eviction protection

Is 630-632 Kirkham 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 1970
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1970
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 two-unit residential building at 630-632 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Hau Family Trust, was constructed in 1970 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including balcony repairs and replacements in 2005 (following earlier work in 2005), dry rot repairs and stair replacement in 1996, and reroofing in 1989. Most notably, solar panel installations were completed in 2009-2010, consisting of 10 roof-mounted solar PV modules with a total system rating of 1.88 kW.

The building has faced some regulatory challenges, with an active complaint from 1996 regarding unauthorized deck construction, and a 2016 complaint about unpermitted construction work, though this is no longer an active case. Planning records indicate a proposal to convert the two-unit building into a three-unit dwelling, which received CEQA clearance but was disapproved in relation to floor area issues. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with multiple citations issued between 2022-2024, though these are external to the building itself and managed by city parking enforcement. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to parking violations near the property, including several instances of driveway blocking and abandoned vehicles, which have all been addressed through official channels.

Risk rating

How 630-632 Kirkham 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
89thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 164 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
