Rent & eviction protection

Is 1620-1622 Florida 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 1904

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 property at 1620-1622 Florida Street in Bernal Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Allan Wong. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues, most notably in 2005 when multiple violations occurred related to unauthorized construction of a roof deck and guard railing on the rear porch, resulting in abatement proceedings that were ultimately resolved by July 2005. During the same period, the building underwent extensive roof-related work, including repairs for dry rot and reroofing projects totaling over $16,500 in permitted work. Other notable improvements included repairs to the front stairs and backyard modifications to replace a concrete slab with grass. The building's electrical system received attention in 2003 with a residential remodel of lights, outlets, and switches.

In recent years, the property has faced infrastructure challenges, with multiple sewer-related incidents recorded in 2021 (March and July) involving sewage backup issues that were resolved through work orders. The most recent maintenance issues documented include three 311 calls regarding tree damage in February 2024, though these were likely related to municipal trees rather than building-specific issues. The property has a documented history of abandoned vehicle reports on the street (2021 and 2022), and a flooding incident was reported in September 2024, though this appears to be an external street issue rather than a building concern. A fire safety complaint from October 2013 was noted but quickly resolved the same day with conditions corrected. While the building has undergone various repairs and modifications over the years, the most significant regulatory and compliance issues appear to have been resolved through proper permitting and remediation processes.

Risk rating

How 1620-1622 Florida 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
77thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 293 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
