Rent & eviction protection

Is 590-592 South Van Ness 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.

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.

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 three-unit, three-story residential building at 590-592 South Van Ness Avenue in the Inner Mission, built in 1909, has experienced significant recent activity, particularly in 2026. There were seven service requests related to garbage and debris from May to July 2026, including reports of bagged garbage, yard waste, furniture, and notably, one incident involving human waste or urine, though this required no work. The most recent service request in July 2026 was related to homelessness and supportive housing.

Prior to this cluster of service requests, the property underwent a substantial interior renovation in 2021, valued at $95,000, which included reconfiguring multiple rooms - converting a living room to a bedroom, altering a bedroom and kitchen, and modifying dining room spaces, along with relocating laundry facilities. The building's record shows a significant number of service requests overall, with 639 logged in the past seven years, though these earlier requests cover a broader range of issues beyond the recent sanitation concerns. The most recent building permit from 2021 appears to have been completed successfully, as no outstanding permits are currently noted.

Risk rating

How 590-592 South Van Ness 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

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.
