Rent & eviction protection

Is 58-60 Cook 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 1900

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1900
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 58-60 Cook Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Marcia Ruotolo. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced various regulatory challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2021-2022, there were major issues regarding unauthorized construction work, including the complete demolition of an existing deck and construction of a new L-shaped second-floor wood deck with new footings, along with an unauthorized storage room addition at ground level. This work exceeded the scope of an originally permitted deck repair project and led to multiple code violations across plumbing, electrical, and building divisions, with some penalties imposed. While some permits were filed in 2022 to address these unauthorized modifications, including deck and staircase repairs, the violations required monitoring and were still noted as active in the planning records.

The building's maintenance history shows various improvements and repairs over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2009 ($9,300), kitchen framing repairs and opening widenings in 2005 ($8,000), and multiple plumbing upgrades, including bathroom repiping in 2022 and gas line extensions in 2010. There were also some recent infrastructure repairs initiated in 2021-2022, focusing on deck and staircase maintenance. Other than the recent unauthorized construction issues, there have been no major safety violations or complaints on record, with most 311 calls relating to minor neighborhood issues such as sidewalk blockages and street cleaning matters. The property has maintained its basic infrastructure requirements, with active permits for various repairs and upgrades, though the history of unauthorized modifications suggests some pattern of work being performed outside of proper permitting channels.

Risk rating

How 58-60 Cook 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
30thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 190 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
