Rent & eviction protection

Is 60 Manchester 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.

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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 60 Manchester Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Gordon R. Whitehouse, has undergone several significant renovations since 2011, most notably a comprehensive ground floor alteration completed in 2019 that included removing the kitchen and reconfiguring the bathroom. This project introduced new internal connections between floors and was documented as part of an ADU screening process, though no UDU (unit development unit) was ultimately found. The property has received regular maintenance and improvements, including a new habitable basement space with bedroom and bathroom (2019), second-floor renovations (2016), and major structural work in 2014 that involved retaining wall replacement, slab work, and foundation repairs.

The building has experienced various infrastructure updates, including a sewer replacement in 2013, new furnace and ductwork installation in 2014, and electrical system upgrades, including a new 200-amp panel installation. A plumbing-related complaint regarding unpermitted work was filed in September 2021 and remains active as of October 2023. Recent incidents include a water main issue in October 2024 affecting the building's water supply. The property has generated several 311 calls over the past few years, primarily related to parking enforcement, street maintenance, and service requests, though most of these issues were resolved promptly. While the building has undergone numerous improvements and repairs, the active complaint regarding unpermitted work and recent water supply issues are notable points of consideration for potential tenants.

Risk rating

How 60 Manchester 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
37thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 804 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
