Rent & eviction protection

Is 530-532 Hugo 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 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1905
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 530-532 Hugo Street is a four-story, multi-family residential building (duplex) located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Peter Yong Zhang and Kun Lucy Ya Mei. Built in 1905, the building has undergone several significant renovation projects over the past two decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2019 when two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a family room were added to the ground floor, along with an attic bathroom addition. These modifications, while permitted and completed, triggered an active building complaint in March 2019 regarding unauthorized work involving new stairs and basement excavation. The building has maintained its infrastructure through various improvements including multiple roofing projects (2011), bathroom additions (2005), and a 2018 remodeling of existing bathrooms and kitchen.

Recent history shows ongoing maintenance and development activity, though the property has faced some community concerns, particularly related to parking issues. Between late 2023 and 2024, there have been numerous reports of parking violations near the property, including sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the vehicles involved. Additionally, there was one recorded noise complaint related to the Outside Lands Festival in Golden Gate Park in August 2024, which is an annual event that typically generates community responses through established channels. The building's location and recent modification history suggest it has been actively maintained and updated to meet modern requirements, though the various renovation projects and recent community concerns about parking suggest ongoing adjustments may be needed for optimal resident experience.

Risk rating

How 530-532 Hugo 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
60thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 597 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

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.
