Rent & eviction protection

Is 55 Osgood Pl 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.

Just-cause eviction

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-story multi-family residential building at 55 Osgood Place, owned by Osgood Holdings LLC, was constructed in 1900 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant transformations, most notably in 1992 when the ground story was converted back to its original configuration of three residential units. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues over the past decade, with documented complaints in 2023 (blocked exits), 2021 (sprinkler/standpipe systems), and multiple violations in 2017 related to fire code violations, extinguisher service requirements, and various safety systems. A cluster of fire safety concerns emerged in 2017, including issues with roof access, fire extinguishers, and multiple fire code violations, though most were subsequently corrected. The property has a history of false fire alarms and system activations, with nine such incidents recorded, including smoke detector activations and false calls, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries.

Recent developments indicate ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the sidewalk, as well as incidents of human waste requiring municipal intervention. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with permits showing work on parapet reinforcement in 1988, though no major renovations have been recorded in recent years. Routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2006 were completed without resulting violations, and several planning records indicate previous attempts to convert dwelling units to commercial use, though these were ultimately disapproved.

Risk rating

How 55 Osgood Pl'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
91stpercentile

Out of 145 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
