Rent & eviction protection

Is 1454 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.

Built 1925

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 1925
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 1454 6th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Parsi Kameh, was constructed in 1925 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex. The property has had several maintenance and safety-related incidents over the years, with particular attention needed on recent infrastructure concerns. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with the sidewalk and curb conditions, with multiple reports in 2023 showing defects including a collapsed sidewalk and a damaged driveway curb wing. The property experienced a series of fire alarm system activations between 2005 and 2014, though all were found to be due to malfunction or false triggers, with no injuries reported. A significant incident occurred in 2014 related to elevator functionality, which was promptly corrected.

Recent maintenance work includes reroofing performed in 2013 (following earlier work in 1991) and a backflow device replacement for the hydronic boiler in 2017, though this permit is now expired. The building has undergone multiple recent inspections for various issues, including three curb/sidewalk defect inspections in June 2023, though no defects were found at the time of these inspections. There have been several 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding the property, including reports of construction noise, sidewalk defects, and illegal postings. A notable planning concern was raised regarding potential short-term rental violations in 2023, though this case was ultimately closed as cancelled. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance activity, though the recurring nature of sidewalk issues and the expired boiler permit warrant attention to the building's infrastructure status.

Risk rating

How 1454 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
63rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 552 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
