Inner Sunset, SF 94122 1767001 3 units · 2 fl · 1907

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1101-1117 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 1907

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 1907
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 1101-1117 Irving Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907 in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, containing three residential units and commercial spaces, currently owned by the Mark A Dames Revocable Living Trust. The building has undergone various significant modifications and uses over the years, with the most recent major work being a sewer replacement completed in January 2023, and a completed roof penthouse replacement permit filed in October 2020. The commercial spaces have predominantly been occupied by massage-related businesses, with a conditional use authorization approved for "U Feet" massage services, including both foot and body massage uses.

The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues, including historical problems with unauthorized use of residential space for commercial purposes in 2005, and multiple instances of graffiti in 2022-2024. There have been two documented fire safety incidents, one involving carbon monoxide and another related to light ballast malfunction, though no civilian injuries were reported in either case. Infrastructure improvements have been made over the years, including substantial electrical work in 2004-2005 (installation of lights, switches, receptacles, and panels) and plumbing updates such as a house trap replacement in 2013. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing street maintenance challenges around the property, with multiple reports of illegal parking and sidewalk cleaning needs in 2022-2024, though these are primarily external to the building itself. The property has also undergone several procedural updates to properly establish and maintain its various commercial and residential addresses, as evidenced by multiple permits issued in 2009 for address verification purposes.

Risk rating

How 1101-1117 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
15thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1269 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
