Rent & eviction protection

Is 58-60 Valparaiso 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 1910
2 or more units
2 units
Property type

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1910
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 58-60 Valparaiso Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1910 and currently owned by the Anna Cardinale Revocable Trust, this flats and duplex building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the past four decades. The most recent major infrastructure improvement was completed in March 2019, when the main electrical service for both units was replaced, addressing a potential safety concern given the building's age. This followed an electrical wiring incident (date unspecified) that required emergency response but fortunately resulted in no civilian injuries. Earlier improvements included the installation of 11 aluminum windows in 1984, which would have contributed to energy efficiency.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both routine upkeep and response to specific incidents, with a notable pattern of addressing loose garbage and cleaning needs in the surrounding area, evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2017 and 2023. There was one sewer-related incident in March 2020 involving an odor from the side sewer vent that was properly addressed through a completed work order. The property has also experienced various street and sidewalk cleaning issues, with six reports specifically mentioning "Other Loose Garbage" between 2017 and 2023, suggesting an ongoing need for attention to exterior maintenance in the vicinity. While most of these incidents have been resolved through normal city processes, there was a construction equipment-related parking disruption in March 2022 and a rent board service request in January 2022 that required correction of information. The building's overall record suggests regular maintenance and prompt response to issues, though the pattern of general cleaning calls indicates a recurring challenge in maintaining the cleanliness of the immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 58-60 Valparaiso 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
86thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 159 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
