Rent & eviction protection

Is 619 Rhode Island 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 1978

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 two-unit residential building at 619 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Tammy Oliver, was constructed in 1978 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2014, when a comprehensive $350,000 interior remodel was completed, targeting the ground floor hallway, stairwell, and second-floor unit. This project included structural modifications to the second floor and roof, replacement of hydronic heaters, light well window replacements, and the installation of four new skylights. The property also received a three-level deck and stair addition at the rear in early 2014, along with window and door replacements, with both permits ultimately completed.

The building has seen various infrastructure improvements, including a weatherhead relocation in 2016, kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2014, and electrical system upgrades to 150 amps in 2015. The plumbing system has been maintained, with a house trap replacement in 2017 and miscellaneous updates through the years. Notably, there have been recurring sewer-related issues in the past, with three documented sewage backup incidents between 2012 and 2013, though these appear to have been resolved through municipal intervention.

Risk rating

How 619 Rhode Island 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
79thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 152 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
