Rent & eviction protection

Is 57 Deming 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1937
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 57 Deming Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, owned by Arsiwala Sakina Turab, and constructed in 1937. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues over the past decades. Most recently, in 2016, the building received a complete reroofing at a cost of $8,100. The property underwent a condo conversion process, with major compliance work completed in 2013 including installation of handrails, interior stair headroom adjustments, electrical system upgrades (200-amp service installation), and plumbing improvements including a house trap replacement and new water heater installation. In 2008, the building faced a Notice of Violation for unpermitted window replacements, specifically three vinyl windows at the front elevation, which were subsequently legalized through the proper permitting process.

Earlier history shows various maintenance and compliance efforts, including stucco removal and plywood replacement work in 1984. The building's recent history (2020-2024) has primarily involved external maintenance issues, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations and some general street maintenance needs, though these are not directly related to the building's structural or safety systems. There was one significant building complaint filed in 2007 regarding an allegedly illegal bathroom in the downstairs unit (which was reportedly abated in 2012), and another in 2005 regarding unauthorized modifications to a garage-level bathroom and kitchen. While the building has experienced multiple compliance issues in the past, all known violations have been addressed through the appropriate permitting processes, and recent building improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property's systems.

Risk rating

How 57 Deming 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
