Rent & eviction protection

Is 586-592 Utah 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 1923

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

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 Kos Sorrell Family Trust owns this two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located at 586-592 Utah Street in Potrero Hill, which was constructed in 1923. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with particular attention to window upgrades and structural repairs. Between 2011 and 2017, three separate window replacement projects were completed, including units 1, 2, and 4, with the most recent installation of aluminum-clad-wood double-hung windows. Structural work has included repairs to the kitchen overhang support in 2016, replacement of rotted joists in 2006, and various deck repairs. The ground floor space has seen attempted improvements in 2019 with proposed interior work valued at $151,200, though this permit was later withdrawn.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues that have required attention, particularly regarding the fire escape system. Multiple violations were documented in 2003 and 2010 regarding the fire escape drop ladder, stair repairs, and security requirements, though these were all abated by November 2003. Plumbing systems have also required updates, including a sewer replacement in 2009 and work to maintain irrigation systems in 2019. Recent activity includes two complaints in 2023-2024 regarding vacant commercial storefronts and multiple 311 calls in recent months related to street cleaning and garbage overflow, though these external issues do not directly impact building habitability. The most recent routine inspections have not revealed any active violations, suggesting that previous maintenance issues have been addressed, though it's worth noting that many historical violations required multiple follow-ups before resolution.

Risk rating

How 586-592 Utah 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
25thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 544 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)
