Rent & eviction protection

Is 555 Corbett Ave 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 before 1979
Built 1955
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1955
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 two-story multi-family residential building at 555 Corbett Avenue in Twin Peaks, owned by Baumann Family Properties L, was constructed in 1955 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, with the most recent major work being an ongoing $60,000 renovation in December 2024 focused on unit #6, replacing bathroom and kitchen fixtures while maintaining existing plumbing configuration. The building has seen substantial improvements in 2013, particularly in unit #8, which received comprehensive renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades with a new sub-panel installation, and furnace replacement. Earlier building maintenance included stair and landing repairs in 2006, and both deck/balcony and trash enclosure repairs in 1997, indicating ongoing attention to structural elements.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine maintenance and infrastructure updates, including street lighting requests in late 2024 and various street cleaning and graffiti removal cases in the vicinity. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of both individual units and common areas, with no significant safety violations or active complaints on record. The property's systems have received attention as evidenced by the heating and electrical work completed in 2023-2024, suggesting continued investment in building infrastructure. While there have been several 311 calls regarding street conditions and public infrastructure near the building, these are primarily related to city maintenance rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 555 Corbett Ave'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
91stpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
