Rent & eviction protection

Is 424-428 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 1912
2 or more units

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 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 Chan Family Trust owns this two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1912 and located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations and usage changes over the years, most notably the conversion of a ground-floor laundromat into a sandwich cafe (Banh Banh Go) between 2021-2022, which involved interior alterations to plumbing and electrical systems. Recent maintenance includes a complete reroofing project costing $17,000 that was completed in September 2024, and the resolution of a 2022 building complaint that required the addition of sheetrock at rear walls in two bathrooms and one kitchen. The building's history reveals various maintenance and improvement works, including a substantial renovation of unit 428 in 2008 involving kitchen cabinets, bathroom tiling, hardwood floor refinishing, and interior painting.

The property has experienced several building complaints and service calls over the years, with the most concerning being a 2022 complaint regarding unpermitted work involving the demolition of a laundry store and fire wall, though this was ultimately resolved. A 2014 sewer line repair was undertaken, and the building has undergone various improvements including electrical upgrades and fire safety improvements. Recent 311 calls indicate various maintenance issues in the vicinity, including graffiti, unauthorized postings, and transit shelter damage, though these were not directly related to the building itself. The most recent complaint as of June 2023 involves an active case regarding a commercial business structure, though the specific details and resolution status were not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 424-428 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
19thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1209 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
