Rent & eviction protection

Is 1580 Beach 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 1931
2 or more units

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 1931
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

1580 Beach Street is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by 1580beachstreet LLC. The property has undergone significant renovations and upgrades in recent years, with major work occurring between 2021 and 2024. The most recent major project, initiated in October 2023, involves the creation of six ADUs in the first-floor parking and storage areas, followed by hydronic heating installation in all units. Notable improvements include a comprehensive upgrade of the fire alarm system in 2023 ($48,786), extensive interior renovations of nine units in 2021-2022 (units 101-104, 201-203, 302-303) featuring new kitchens, bathrooms, and bedroom modifications, and a voluntary seismic upgrade to the basement completed in 2021. The building faced several building code violations in mid-2023, including issues with heating, security systems, and safety equipment, though these were all abated by August 2023. Historical maintenance records show regular upkeep, including a complete reroofing in 2014 and various unit-specific renovations in the past.

The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activations due to system malfunctions, though no serious incidents have been recorded, and all recent building code violations have been resolved. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to utility services and minor maintenance issues, with no recurring problems noted. The building's recent improvements demonstrate substantial investment in modernization and safety upgrades, including the installation of new heating systems, fire safety equipment, and seismic improvements. The addition of ADUs and ongoing interior renovations suggest active property management and development efforts, though the building's age and history of system malfunctions indicate typical maintenance challenges associated with older structures.

Risk rating

How 1580 Beach 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
1stpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 978 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
