Rent & eviction protection

Is 1124-1126 Irving St 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 1908

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.

Built 1908
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 1124-1126 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Dawson Family Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and changes since it was built in 1908. Most recently, in January 2023, an exterior spiral staircase was added to improve rear yard access, with related work on an existing rear staircase, representing an investment of over $17,000. In 2021, both units received substantial updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels, along with plumbing upgrades including new water copper lines and gas houseline extensions. The building underwent important safety improvements in 2018 with the installation of a dedicated fire sprinkler system, indicating attention to fire safety protocols.

Historical records show several ambitious but ultimately withdrawn or cancelled proposals, including a 2016 plan for significant vertical and horizontal additions and new commercial space, and a subsequent proposal to replace the existing building with a larger four-story structure. The property has experienced recurring issues with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti and debris between 2022 and 2024, though most cases have been resolved. While there was one alarm system activation recorded, it was confirmed as unintentional with no fire or civilian injuries reported. The building's recent history shows an active pattern of maintenance and upgrades by the current owners, with particular attention to modernization and safety improvements, despite the earlier proposals for more extensive redevelopment.

Risk rating

How 1124-1126 Irving St'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
98thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 30 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
