Rent & eviction protection

Is 484-486 Sanchez 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 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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 484-486 Sanchez Street is a 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing two units and currently owned by Christopher P Beckmann Rvc. The building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over the past decade, with the most substantial renovation occurring between 2018-2019, including a complete remodel of both kitchens and three bathrooms, installation of radiant floor heating systems, and updates to utilities. This renovation also included structural work such as replacing exterior stairs, addressing dry rot issues, and adding retaining walls, fencing, and a hot tub in the rear yard, with permits totaling over $60,000 in construction costs.

The property has a history of addressing safety and maintenance issues, particularly in 2009 when multiple violations were recorded regarding deck repairs, window conditions, ventilation, and life safety concerns related to door locks. These violations were all officially abated by May 21, 2010. More recent improvements include the installation of a solar system in 2020 (5.04 kW) and various plumbing and electrical upgrades completed between 2018-2019. The building has experienced several minor issues and neighborhood concerns in recent years, including sidewalk defects, driveway blocking incidents, and a sewer-related flooding issue in 2020. Regular maintenance and permit activity, particularly for street space usage and utility upgrades, suggest ongoing property upkeep and attention to local regulations.

Risk rating

How 484-486 Sanchez 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
85thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 192 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
