Central Sunset, SF 94122 2017048 3 units · 2 fl · 1987

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.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2588 Noriega St rent-controlled?

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 1987
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 2588 Noriega Street is a 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with retail space, built in 1987 and currently held in the Yang Chung Lang 1992 Trust. The building has experienced several significant issues over its history, most notably a fire incident in 1999 that required wall repairs (permit# 9923510) and subsequent fire-related violations in 2010 and 2018 involving extinguishers and multiple code violations, though these were eventually corrected or abated. Recent concerns include two notable complaints in 2019 regarding suspected illegal unit modifications and zoning height violations, as well as unauthorized equipment installations on the roof (2017) and issues with unpermitted fan/exhaust ductwork (2004). The building underwent accessibility improvements in 2022 with the installation of new signage to direct users to an alternate accessible entrance.

The property has had recurring fire alarm activations between 2004 and 2020, though these were typically for system malfunctions or detector activations with no fire or injuries reported. A grease trap was installed in 2011, and various signage and street space permits have been processed over the years. Recent activity around the property (as of January 2025) shows multiple 311 calls primarily related to street cleaning, garbage disposal, and sidewalk maintenance, though these are typical urban neighborhood issues and not directly related to the building's condition. Two tenant buyouts were recorded in March 2019, totaling $94,000 for four tenants, suggesting some unit consolidation occurred at that time. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and violation history, with the most recent fire safety-related issues dating back to 2018.

Risk rating

How 2588 Noriega 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 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 692 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
