Rent & eviction protection

Is 590-592 Sanchez 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 before 1979
Built 1900

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 1900
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 590-592 Sanchez Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Nicole E Martin Revocable Trust. The building underwent significant renovations starting in 2017, when it was raised by 3.5 feet to accommodate a new basement garage and a rear master bedroom suite for the 1st-floor unit (592), along with interior remodeling work valued at approximately $576,180. Since then, several improvements have been made, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system (63 sprinklers) in 2022 at a cost of $34,398, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Notable recent work includes floor plan revisions in 2023.

The property has faced some maintenance and regulatory challenges over the years. In 2021, there was a complaint about construction activities affecting street drainage, and there have been multiple instances of graffiti reported on or near the building between 2023 and 2024. A collapsed sidewalk has been reported as an open issue in December 2024. Historical records show some concerns about unpermitted work in 2001, when electrical and plumbing work was completed without proper permits, though these issues were subsequently resolved. The building's renovation history suggests significant upgrades to modernize the property, including the installation of multiple kitchen and bathroom facilities, radiant heat, and a heat pump system, though many permits have required renewal or extension, with several plumbing and electrical permits expiring in recent months (October 2023).

Risk rating

How 590-592 Sanchez 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
64thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 460 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
