Rent & eviction protection

Is 623-625 Natoma 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 1923

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 1923
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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 623-625 Natoma Street, owned by the Steil-meng Family Trust, has been in operation since 1923 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most recently, in 2022, the building faced notable sanitation challenges involving garbage receptacle management, with complaints about homeless individuals accessing the property through an unsecure sidewalk hatch, leading to unsafe and unsanitary conditions that residents were reportedly required to manage themselves. This situation was eventually addressed and officially abated by July 2022. The building received a plumbing system upgrade in 2021 with the installation of an area drain drainage box and pump, and historical records show earlier maintenance work including a roof replacement in 1991 and back steps repair attempts in 1987.

The property has undergone multiple housing inspections over the years, with particularly concerning conditions documented in 2003, when violations included pest infestations (cockroaches and mice), ventilation issues, defective heating systems, and various interior surface problems including damaged walls and peeling paint. These violations, along with a noted lead paint hazard, were officially abated by August 2007. A blocked exits fire safety complaint was also corrected in October 2007. More recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing challenges in the area surrounding the building, including multiple reports of encampments, garbage, and debris issues near the property, though these external matters are not directly related to the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 623-625 Natoma 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
48thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 224 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
