Rent & eviction protection

Is 587-593 Ofarrell 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1914
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 587-593 Ofarrell Street is a two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by the Tsivikas Eula 1994 Trust Th. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, with the most recent being a fire alarm system upgrade completed in March 2024 at a cost of $23,366, which included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current code requirements. Other recent improvements include plumbing repairs completed in June 2024 addressing various issues such as water heater strapping and pipe ventilation, and the resolution of a basement sewer leak reported in May 2024. The building has a history of maintenance and safety upgrades, including a seismic upgrade completed in 2001 and re-roofing work performed in 2016.

The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, with complaints about inadequate heat in multiple years (most recently in 2021), and several past violations related to fire safety equipment such as extinguishers and alarm systems. A significant complaint in 2015 reported multiple problems including pests, plumbing issues, roof leaks, and safety concerns, though these were marked as "Not Active" following investigation. Historical violations from 2003-2008 indicated various maintenance issues including insufficient heat, expired fire extinguishers, and hazards in common areas, all of which were subsequently abated. The property has maintained its commercial use as a grocery store with valid ABC licenses for off-sale liquor, and has undergone regular fire safety inspections, with most violations being promptly corrected. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 to early 2025 primarily relate to street cleaning issues in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 587-593 Ofarrell 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.
