Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2528-2532 Folsom 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 1978

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 1978
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 2528-2532 Folsom Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1978, currently owned by Miguel Angel Hernandez Livi. The building underwent significant modifications in 2006-2008, including the legalization of a lower unit adjacent to the garage at ground level (completed under permit 200612149893), followed by substantial renovations to upgrade bathrooms and kitchens, install new water heaters and furnace, and update electrical systems including new meters, lighting, and circuits. These improvements were accompanied by a change of use designation from R-3 (2 units) to R-2 (3 units), which triggered routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services.

The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, including historical concerns about illegal garage unit conversions in 1996, which were ultimately addressed and abated by 2008. More recent concerns have centered on exterior maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding overgrown trees, street cleaning, and parking enforcement. Two construction noise complaints were filed in mid-2023, suggesting recent work was conducted on the property. The building received a parking variance to legalize the third unit without providing required parking space, indicating previous parking-related challenges at the site. While most historical complaints have been resolved, the property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2528-2532 Folsom 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
56thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1047 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
