Rent & eviction protection

Is 1585 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 1935
2 or more units

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

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.

Built 1935
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 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1585 Beach Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by the Brenda F Vizzard Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years. Most notably, in 2024, the building received a new roof at a cost of $88,000 and completed an electrical upgrade replacing old fuse panels with circuit breaker panels across all units and the house. The building's fire safety systems have been consistently maintained and upgraded, with comprehensive fire alarm system installations and upgrades occurring between 2020-2022 to meet current safety standards, including the installation of horn strobes, smoke detectors, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms.

The building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues that have been promptly addressed, including a fire escape inspection in May 2024 that required correction. Historical records show the building has undergone various improvements since its construction in 1935, including plumbing upgrades in 2012 with the installation of a new storage tank system. The property has had minimal violations, with only one interior paint violation recorded in 2000. Recent 311 calls show some ongoing maintenance needs in the vicinity, including an open sidewalk defect and tree maintenance request from 2024, but these are external to the building itself. There have been no significant safety incidents in recent years, with fire-related calls primarily consisting of routine matters such as false alarms, excessive heat incidents, and elevator rescues, none of which resulted in civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 1585 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
11thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 879 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
