Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1506-1510 Franklin 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 1912

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 1912
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 1506-1510 Franklin Street is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by the Yee Suey Yeong Trust. The building has undergone several significant accessibility improvements in recent months, with permits filed in November 2023 for installation of power door operators and modification of the entrance to comply with the Accessible Business Entrance Ordinance, including changing the entry door to 36 inches wide and adjusting the apron paving. These improvements, valued at $8,000, are part of a commitment to enhance building accessibility that began in 1992 with the installation of pharmacy services, followed by various infrastructure upgrades including a gas line installation for a water heater in 2022.

The property has experienced recurring issues with encampments in the immediate vicinity, with multiple reports in late 2024 and early 2025, including several instances requiring intervention by the Healthy Streets Operation Center, though most were resolved successfully. Past building maintenance records show routine upkeep, including a 1994 reroofing project and the installation of a canvas awning over the storefront that same year, though those permits have since expired. A fire incident was recorded at the property, classified as a "person in distress, other" situation, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and compliance with safety standards, with no recorded violations or notable safety concerns beyond the aforementioned encampment issues in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1506-1510 Franklin 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.
