Rent & eviction protection

Is 58-60 Parnassus 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 before 1979
Built 1900

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 two-unit residential building at 58-60 Parnassus Avenue, owned by Margaret Cutts, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1900. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades over the past two decades, including a complete sewer main replacement in 2020, water line replacement in 2016, and various dry rot repairs in 2001 affecting both the interior staircase and lower unit kitchen floor, as well as issues with exterior wall siding and framing. Other notable improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2003 and a furnace changeout with flue replacement in 2007.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, with multiple street space and sidewalk permits issued between 2006 and 2019. A routine housing inspection was conducted in February 2023. Recently, there have been several 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings, including multiple reports of driveway blocking between July and October 2024, and two tree-related issues in early 2025. Three parking enforcement cases were successfully resolved, though two cases were invalid due to incomplete reporting information. The property seems to maintain basic compliance with housing regulations, though the recurring issues with driveway blocking and recent tree concerns may warrant further attention.

Risk rating

How 58-60 Parnassus 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
54thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 242 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
