Rent & eviction protection

Is 547-549 Texas 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 1909

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 1909
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

547-549 Texas Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the Ramirez Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and renovation projects over the past two decades, with particular attention to addressing structural issues. In 2017, substantial work was completed to address dry rot problems, including siding replacement, insulation installation, and deck repairs at a cost of $28,000. Earlier repairs focused on the light well area in 2015 ($1,000) and a complete reroofing project in 2013 ($10,000). The building underwent a substantial interior renovation in 2006, which included kitchen relocation, bathroom modifications, and various structural changes, alongside extensive electrical upgrades between 2003-2007 involving the installation of numerous lighting fixtures, switches, receptacles, and panel work.

The property has experienced some notable incidents, including a contractor-related accident involving a vehicle in 2004 and multiple building violations related to expired permits and discrepancies between as-built conditions and approved plans, though these issues were ultimately resolved by November 2006. Earlier concerns from the 1990s involved water seepage and erosion issues between neighboring properties, but these complaints were addressed. Recent municipal service calls (2020-2024) primarily relate to external maintenance matters such as sidewalk conditions, street lighting, and waste management, rather than structural or safety concerns. The most recent building permits from 2017 suggest that major structural issues have been appropriately addressed, though prospective tenants should note the building's history of moisture-related challenges and the comparatively high maintenance costs associated with its upkeep.

Risk rating

How 547-549 Texas 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
67thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 240 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.

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

Building size

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
