Rent & eviction protection

Is 600 Moscow 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 1973

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 1973
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, two-story multi-family residential building at 600 Moscow Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Terence and Eri Li, has been in operation since 1973 and has undergone several significant events over its lifetime. The most recent major incident occurred in April 2017 when there was an emergency response due to a vehicular accident involving the building, which required repairs to exterior elements and was not fully resolved until June 2018. The building has a history of fire safety and maintenance issues, particularly notable in 2001 when multiple violations were recorded including problems with fire extinguishers, emergency egress, and security devices, though all were abated by March 29, 2001. A similar pattern of fire safety concerns emerged in 2004 with violations related to egress obstruction and fire escape maintenance, along with several routine inspections revealing various maintenance needs.

The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work over the years, including a 2017 project to repair broken 2x6 framing and stucco on the exterior, which cost $2,000. Regular inspections of common areas have been conducted, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2011, and there was an investigation into a possibly illegal unit in 2006 that was quickly resolved. The building's recent history shows continued attention to external maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022-2024 regarding garbage and debris on the property, though these appear to be focused on external street conditions rather than building maintenance. The property management's response to code violations appears proactive, with all documented violations being addressed and resolved promptly, though the pattern of repeated fire safety and egress-related violations in the early 2000s is noteworthy. Recent building activities suggest a focus on maintaining compliance with building codes, particularly following the 2017 vehicular incident and associated repairs.

Risk rating

How 600 Moscow 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
97thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 10 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
