Rent & eviction protection

Is 904 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.

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 1912
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 property at 904 Irving Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, containing three units and built in 1912. The building's maintenance record shows several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a $16,000 re-roofing project completed in 2021. Notable accessibility upgrades were made in 2016 when the building underwent substantial bathroom renovations to install a new ADA-compliant restroom on the ground floor, including associated electrical and plumbing work costing $30,000 in total. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues, as evidenced by two past fire complaints regarding weeds and grass in 2011 and 2017, both of which were promptly corrected.

The building's recent history has been relatively stable, with the most significant recent events being street-level municipal service matters rather than building-specific issues. A missing sewer vent cover was addressed in early 2024, and there have been occasional reports of graffiti and illegal postings in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent municipal call related to the building's immediate vicinity was in August 2024 regarding a street encampment, which was resolved. The property's location has generated several requests for street cleaning and maintenance services between 2019 and 2020, but these appear to be routine municipal matters rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 904 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
39thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 911 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
