Rent & eviction protection

Is 646 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 before 1979
Built 1967

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

646 Corbett Avenue is a 41-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1967 and currently owned by General SF Holdings LLC. The property has undergone several significant safety and modernization upgrades in recent years, including a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing approximately $80,000, installation of low-frequency horns in sleeping areas, and completion of required soft-story retrofitting work in 2023 with a cost of $160,000. The building has experienced periodic maintenance and safety compliance issues, such as three separate water-related complaints between 2020 and 2022 regarding inadequate hot water and toilet functioning, and two recent fire safety violations in 2023 related to sprinkler systems and sleeping area requirements, though these were subsequently corrected.

Historical records show multiple renovation and repair projects, including extensive unit remodels in 2014-2016 (units 404, 504, and others) involving kitchen and bathroom updates, balcony repairs in 2016, and various plumbing upgrades including boiler and water heater replacements in 2022. The building has faced several enforcement actions, most notably regarding soft-story compliance, which was finally completed under the Tier 2 program. Past violations from 2004-2006 included issues with fire safety systems, building permits, and various maintenance concerns, all of which were subsequently abated. Recent maintenance history shows ongoing attention to building systems, though periodic tenant complaints suggest some challenges with response times to maintenance requests. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes, though it has required multiple fire alarm system corrections over the years, with the most recent violation in October 2023 now abated.

Risk rating

How 646 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
0thpercentile

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