Rent & eviction protection

Is 587-589 2Nd 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 1905

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 587-589 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by De Shazo Lvg Tr, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1905. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a sewer line replacement with a new house trap installation completed in August 2024, and an electrical service upgrade to 200-amp capacity completed in May 2018. Historical records show past renovations including bathroom remodeling and kitchen improvements in 1999, as well as a reroofing project in 1997. One building complaint was filed in December 1998 regarding an alleged illegal unit, though this complaint was quickly addressed and marked as not active.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in front of the building, with multiple parking enforcement requests logged between 2014 and 2024, including documented citations issued to various vehicles for blocking driveways. During the summer months of 2020, there were several street cleaning and general service requests filed with the Department of Public Works, though these were impacted by COVID-19 protocols. The only fire-related incident on record was a "good intent call" with no civilian injuries reported, though the exact date and nature of this incident were not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 587-589 2Nd 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
70thpercentile
