Rent & eviction protection

Is 1567-1569 Union 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 1923

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 1923
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 1567-1569 Union Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Cofi Hand Trust. The building has undergone numerous significant improvements over the past three years, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building in 2022 ($24,000), a fire/sprinkler monitoring system in 2023 ($7,125), and a re-roofing project in 2023 ($18,000). The most recent renovations, completed in October 2024, involved kitchen modifications on the second level, including the addition of an island and replacement of an induction cooktop with a gas range ($8,700). The building has also received substantial safety upgrades, including a complete electrical system upgrade with 300-amp underground service in 2022, installation of a solar system (2.46 kW) in 2023, and other infrastructure improvements such as foundation work, bathroom and family room reconfigurations, and mechanical system upgrades.

The building has experienced several fire safety-related issues over the years, with violations and corrections concerning sleeping area requirements, extinguishers, blocked exits, and alarm systems between 2015 and 2023. A recent complaint from March 2024 regarding the building being sold as a single-family home was filed but is currently marked as not active. The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety requirements through recent improvements, including the installation of a new fire/sprinkler monitoring system and the correction of various violations. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property and surrounding area in 2023-2024, most relate to external issues like noise, garbage, and parking, rather than building-specific concerns. The current status of the building's occupancy type is somewhat ambiguous, with recent complaints suggesting a possible dispute over its classification as a single-family or multi-family residence, though official records indicate it is maintained as a two-unit building.

Risk rating

How 1567-1569 Union 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
91stpercentile
