Rent & eviction protection

Is 608-610 Andover 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 property at 608-610 Andover Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by the Gaskell Albert Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project in April 2022 costing $16,800. In 2013-2014, substantial interior improvements were made to unit 610, including bathroom remodels, laundry additions, and kitchen upgrades with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $25,000. Earlier structural work included a partial foundation replacement completed in 2013 ($12,000).

The property has experienced notable parking enforcement issues in recent years, with multiple citations issued between 2023-2024 for illegal parking, blocked driveways, and sidewalk parking, particularly during 2023-2024 when there were at least eight documented parking violations, with four resulting in citations. In a separate incident, the property was involved in an illegal short-term rental case in 2021 that was resolved with a violation notice and penalty payment. Two significant tenant buyouts occurred at a neighboring property (612 Andover Street) in mid-2022, totaling $75,000 for one tenant, though these are not directly related to the current building's operations. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, with the most recent work focused on exterior maintenance and interior systems upgrades.

Risk rating

How 608-610 Andover 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
57thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 549 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
