Rent & eviction protection

Is 536-560 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.

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

This three-story multi-family residential building, located at 536-560 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1908 and contains 12 units with commercial space. The building has undergone significant safety improvements in recent years, including mandatory seismic retrofitting as a soft-story building (completed in 2019 at a cost of $90,000) and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in late 2023-2024. The recent fire safety improvements included the installation of multiple heat detectors, smoke detectors, and manual pull stations throughout the building, with the most recent work completed at a cost of $5,454 in September 2024.

Currently, the building faces several active maintenance issues that require attention. These include concerns about lead paint (filed in January 2024), electrical system deficiencies, exterior weatherproofing issues, and the need for smoke/carbon monoxide detector compliance documentation (filed in March 2024). A vacant storefront space has also been noted as of 2020. The property has undergone routine inspections over the years, with the most recent significant inspections occurring in 2003 and 2009. Recent maintenance activities have focused on addressing the building's fire safety systems, with the fire alarm panel replacement and associated system upgrades completing in 2023-2024 at a total cost of approximately $24,554. The building's management, under Lucky Zeus LLC, has completed the mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements and maintains fire safety systems, though several active violations related to general maintenance and building systems require resolution.

Risk rating

How 536-560 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
4thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1433 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
