Rent & eviction protection

Is 930 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 1910

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 1910
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 three-unit residential building at 930 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset district, owned by Kim Tae Won & Kyung A, has a rich history dating back to its 1910 construction. The three-story flat, which also had commercial space, has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent notable work being window replacements in December 2017 for improved energy efficiency. The building has received mandatory seismic upgrades, including a voluntary foundation improvement in 2003 estimated at $5,000, following earlier foundation work completed in 1995 at a cost of $6,000. The property has seen various interior improvements, including kitchen renovations in 2007 ($8,000) and prior work in 1988 involving updates to bathrooms and fixtures.

In recent months (late 2023), the building's vicinity has experienced several noise-related complaints, particularly concerning entertainment noise, with incidents reported in November 2023, though official inspections were unable to pinpoint consistent sources. There have been multiple instances of unauthorized postings and graffiti on nearby parking meters between 2019-2020, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges in the immediate area. A significant violation was reported regarding unauthorized advertising on the building's facade and sidewalk, though this issue was marked as abated in the Planning Records. The building's utility infrastructure has been upgraded, as evidenced by the installation of multiple commercial and residential meters in 2007, though the specific purpose of this change is not detailed in the records. The property appears to be generally well-maintained from a structural perspective, with regular improvements focused on safety, energy efficiency, and basic habitability requirements being consistently addressed throughout its history.

Risk rating

How 930 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
13thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1299 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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