Rent & eviction protection

Is 563-565 7Th 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

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 property at 563-565 7th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1904 and classified as a Flats & Duplex, this building has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring in late 2017 when multiple violations related to lead paint hazards were documented. These violations, which posed potential health risks to occupants, were officially abated by December 2022, following a series of notices and a final warning letter issued in August 2018. Additionally, in November 2017, complaints were filed regarding the property's condition, noting problems such as boarded windows, peeling paint, and the presence of rodent droppings, particularly on the building's side.

The building has faced recurring infrastructure challenges, particularly in terms of sewer issues, with documented sewage backup incidents occurring in October 2023, January 2021, and August 2019. Other recent maintenance concerns include a damaged tree incident in January 2023 and various street cleaning needs. The property has had multiple parking-related incidents in the vicinity, with the most recent occurring in February 2024 involving a vehicle parked on the sidewalk. While some of these issues affect the immediate surroundings rather than the building structure itself, they collectively provide insight into the maintenance history of both the property and its immediate environment.

Risk rating

How 563-565 7Th 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
64thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 620 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

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