Rent & eviction protection

Is 585-587 Dolores 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 1907

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 1907
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 585-587 Dolores Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by SF Multifamily V Property O. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting under the soft-story program in 2014, achieving Tier 3 compliance, and there are currently filed plans to add three units by converting the existing garage space. Building maintenance issues have emerged as a recurring theme, with particularly serious concerns in 2022 when multiple violations were filed regarding weather-proofing, paint conditions, and potential lead hazards. These violations were officially recorded as abated in November 2023. The property has a history of plumbing work including gas heater replacements in 2016-2017, sewer repairs in 2007, and an underground service conversion completed in 2003.

Recent inspections in 2023 noted missing fire safety equipment and the need for smoke/carbon monoxide detector compliance, which were subsequently addressed. A significant 2022 complaint described serious conditions in the basement involving refuse and pest issues, while historical records show recurring concerns about the building's exterior maintenance, including prior violations in 2004 regarding guardrails, stairs, fire safety, and building materials. The property has undergone various maintenance and repair work over the years, including exterior siding repairs, stair repairs, and several street space permits. Recent 311 calls in 2024 have primarily been related to exterior issues such as graffiti and garbage, with an infestation report received in July 2024.

Risk rating

How 585-587 Dolores 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
