Rent & eviction protection

Is 591-593 35Th 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.

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 591-593 35th Avenue in the Outer Richmond, owned by the Helen B Wong Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1948. The building's maintenance record shows a reroofing project completed in 2001 at a cost of $4,140, and a street space permit issued in 2016 for $1.00. A significant cluster of building violations related to fire safety was recorded in June 2015, including issues with the hard-wired smoke detector system and the absence of carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations are now listed as not active.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in recent years, with six documented incidents between 2020 and 2024 involving blocked driveways and sidewalk parking. These incidents have generally been addressed by parking enforcement officers. Other notable maintenance issues include a missing side sewer vent cover reported in 2016 and resolved by the Department of Public Works, and two streetlight flickering complaints in 2011 and 2012 that were addressed by PG&E. A temporary moving sign request was successfully processed in 2013. While the building has had several maintenance issues and violations in its history, most of these have been addressed and resolved through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 591-593 35Th 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 177 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location
