Rent & eviction protection

Is 60-64 Montezuma 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 1908

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 60-64 Montezuma Street in Bernal Heights is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, containing 6 units and currently owned by Arthur R. Siegel & Carol J. Gould. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance updates in recent years, with the most pressing current work being a fire alarm system upgrade scheduled for 2025, which includes the installation of sounders in all residential units to comply with fire safety requirements. In 2023, major improvements were completed including the replacement of a failing rear retaining wall (costing $64,900) and repairs to address dry rot damage on a rear exterior stairway stringer, which also involved constructing approved guardrails on a rear deck.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety issues that have required attention over the years, particularly regarding stairway conditions. Notable past violations from 2004-2005 included issues with mold, damaged electrical switches, and stair repairs, all of which were subsequently addressed. Earlier maintenance work included various stair repairs in 2005, 2013, and most recently in 2023, demonstrating ongoing attention to this critical infrastructure. The property's fire safety systems have been progressively updated, with significant fire alarm system improvements completed in 2021 and additional planned upgrades in 2025. Infrastructure improvements also included the recent installation of a backyard catch basin waste line in 2023. While the building has experienced various repair issues over its history, most of the recent work has been focused on addressing safety concerns and infrastructure upgrades, particularly in compliance with building codes and safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 60-64 Montezuma 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
10thpercentile
