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 576 Hill 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.

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 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 576 Hill St in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood was built in 1910 and is currently owned by the Tamara Yvonne Merry Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with three roofing projects recorded in 1989, 2008, and most recently in 2012, costing between $8,000 and $9,000 each. Other notable improvements include a 125-amp electrical underground conversion in 2004 and a gas water heater replacement in 2018. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, though there was a cluster of violations documented in 2002 and 2008 requiring attention to fire safety, security features, and structural elements like stairs and ceilings. All these violations were eventually abated, with the 2008 routine inspection notably addressing issues such as fire extinguisher maintenance, security viewers, and staircase repairs.

In recent years, the property has primarily generated service requests related to external factors, including tree root damage to sidewalks (2023), parking enforcement issues (2016, 2019, and most recently in 2024), and a couple of instances of graffiti (2008). The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance of critical systems, with particular attention paid to roofing and electrical systems, while the violation history indicates periods requiring focused attention to safety and accessibility requirements. Recent 311 calls have mostly concerned external matters rather than building-specific issues, though there was one general building inspection request recorded in 2019. The property's age and maintenance history reflect typical urban building upkeep patterns, with periodic major system updates and occasional interventions to address code compliance issues when they arise.

Risk rating

How 576 Hill 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
20thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1022 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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