Rent & eviction protection

Is 561-575 Fillmore 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 1904
2 or more units

Property type

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 1904
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 8-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 561-575 Fillmore Street in Hayes Valley, owned by William A Arietta, has a documented history since its 1904 construction that reveals several concerning patterns, particularly regarding its fire safety systems and maintenance. The building underwent reroofing in 2007 at a cost of $7,000, and has required multiple street space permits over the years. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in January 2008, including issues with the fire escape drop ladder, smoke enclosure door closers, fire alarm maintenance, and security requirements, all of which were abated by February 2008. More recently, in August 2019, a fire alarm system violation was issued and subsequently abated.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its alarm system, as evidenced by multiple false alarms and system malfunctions recorded between 2019 and earlier years, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. A routine safety inspection in December 2018 and several inspections in previous years (2000, 2008, 2011) suggest regular oversight by housing authorities. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate ongoing management challenges, particularly regarding street cleaning and garbage management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans. While these issues don't directly impact building safety, they do reflect on the property's management and maintenance of common areas. The building's documented history shows periods of both required maintenance and violation remediation, with particular attention needed to the documented fire safety system challenges, though all known violations have been officially marked as abated.

Risk rating

How 561-575 Fillmore 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
33rdpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 688 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
