Rent & eviction protection

Is 88-90 Rossi Ave 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 1939

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.

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 two-unit residential building at 88-90 Rossi Avenue in Lone Mountain, owned by Serge N & Virginia Burenin, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1939. Most recently, in 2023, both units received substantial kitchen and bathroom renovations, including the installation of new fixtures, cabinets, and updated electrical systems with the addition of new lights, switches, and receptacles (total cost: $50,000). The property has seen consistent maintenance and improvement over the years, with notable projects including a 2008 renovation of Unit 90 that added a bathroom and office space in the garage level, installed new French doors, and upgraded lighting (cost: $30,000), as well as comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2003 (cost: $100,000) and electrical system upgrades including 200-amp service installation.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, including reroofing work completed in 1992 and 2010, and various plumbing updates such as a garage area drain line repair in 2015 and gas houseline extension in 2012. More recent concerns include two sewage backup incidents in late 2023 (October and December) that were resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations team. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations issued in 2023 for vehicles blocking driveways or parking illegally. While the building has generally received proper maintenance and upgrades, the recent sewer issues may require monitoring. Additionally, there were three noise-related complaints in August 2024, which appear to be associated with the Outside Lands Festival, though these were processed through normal channels with responses indicating standard festival procedures.

Risk rating

How 88-90 Rossi Ave'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
94thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 31 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
