Rent & eviction protection

Is 670 Corbett 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 1938

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.

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 property at 670 Corbett Ave is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Twin Peaks, constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Peter W. Knuth. The building's historical records reveal several significant events, with the most pressing concerns being documented in 2012 when two separate complaints were filed regarding potential illegal units, including allegations of unauthorized modifications involving cement steps and multiple unauthorized entrances throughout the building. An earlier incident in 2011 noted unauthorized construction work involving jackhammering on a covered patio and the removal of a redwood tree. The building underwent electrical system improvements in 2007, including an underground service conversion to a 100-amp, two-meter system, though one permit related to a 150-amp installation expired.

Recent activity around the property between 2023-2024 has primarily consisted of municipal service calls, including multiple reports of defaced parking signs that remain open as of January 2024. The building's fire alarm system has triggered three times, though these incidents were either due to malfunction or unintentional activation, with no civilian injuries reported in any case. The property's maintenance history shows recent attention to street-level issues, with multiple reports of debris, garbage, and other cleanliness matters being addressed through normal city resolution processes. While the building's major structural and safety systems appear to have been stabilized since the 2007 electrical upgrades, the persistence of multiple graffiti and debris incidents in the surrounding area suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 670 Corbett 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
87thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
