Rent & eviction protection

Is 203-209 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 1922
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 203-209 Irving Street is a two-story multi-family residential building containing four units, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by the O'Sullivan/Ryan Family Trust 2002. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with substantial work performed on unit 209 between 2016-2017 including dry rot repairs in garages (costing $40,000), kitchen and bathroom remodels ($20,000), and electrical system upgrades in December 2017. The building's maintenance history shows timely responses to housing inspections, with several routine inspections recorded (2003, 2009, and 2017), and all identified violations from a 2009 inspection related to fire safety and handrails were resolved by November 2009. Infrastructure updates include new furnaces installed in December 2012, and plumbing work completed in 2018.

Recent activity on the property has included multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding external issues such as street defects, illegal postings, graffiti, and a tree root problem affecting sidewalk maintenance. Three fire alarm activations have been recorded, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. The property owners have demonstrated ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the building, with the most recent significant work involving routine plumbing maintenance and completion of electrical upgrades. Current building systems appear to be regularly maintained, though there are some pending municipal requests from 2024 regarding transportation and paint services that need to be monitored for resolution.

Risk rating

How 203-209 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
33rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1000 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
