Rent & eviction protection

Is 6678 3Rd 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 1964
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1964
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 6678 3rd Street in Bayview Heights is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by Sh Lung Sf LLC. The building's maintenance history shows relatively minimal activity, with only one significant structural work permit from 1994 for reroofing, which has since expired. The most substantial cluster of issues occurred between 2006-2008, when the building received multiple violations related to safety and maintenance, including requirements for fire extinguishers, security features, and sanitation that were all eventually abated by September 2006. A series of complaints in 2017-2018 raised concerns about unauthorized construction work, particularly involving a cement wall that allegedly blocked an easement affecting multiple properties.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance concerns, including a 2018 complaint about rats, plumbing issues, and flooring problems, though these were marked as not active. The property has experienced several infrastructure issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by 311 calls, particularly regarding flooding (most recently in April 2023), though these may not directly affect the building itself. The building's historical records show regular inspections in 1999, 2006, and 2007, with most issues being promptly addressed. Recent complaints have primarily involved external issues such as street cleaning and parking violations, with no significant building-specific violations recorded in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 6678 3Rd 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
92ndpercentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 4 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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