Rent & eviction protection

Is 583 Arguello Blvd 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 1966
2 or more units

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

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-story multi-family residential building at 583 Arguello Blvd in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, built in 1966 and containing 6 units, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most pressing concern being an active complaint filed in October 2024 regarding structural problems in the ground floor of the main building. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2021 with the installation of a new fire alarm panel, low-frequency horns, and wireless monitoring system at a cost of $15,000. Recent cosmetic and structural improvements include window replacements in 2022 for Units #1 and #2, and stucco replacement on the building's side, with both projects costing $3,500 each.

Historically, the building has had routine safety inspections in 2001, 2004, and 2016, with the 2001 inspection revealing multiple fire safety violations related to fire extinguishers and gas utility shutoff requirements, though these were all promptly abated within a week. The property has maintained its infrastructure with multiple improvements over the decades, including siding replacement and reroofing projects in 1995, 1996, and 2007. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges as documented in 311 calls, primarily related to parking issues and street cleaning matters, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance. The building's permits and violation history suggest regular maintenance has been prioritized, with particular attention to fire safety systems and exterior upkeep, though the recent structural complaint filed in 2024 represents the most significant current concern.

Risk rating

How 583 Arguello Blvd'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.

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.
