Rent & eviction protection

Is 560-562 Pennsylvania Ave 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 1977
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1977
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 560-562 Pennsylvania Ave in Potrero Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1977, currently owned by the Joan Park Revocable Living Trust. In late 2021, both units underwent bathroom renovations, including one completed in November with a cost of $10,000 and another in December costing $13,500, encompassing plumbing, electrical work, and the installation of a shower pan, though none involved structural modifications. The building has experienced several maintenance and enforcement issues in the past year, with multiple incidents of sidewalk parking reported between January and April 2024, though only one resulted in a citation. The property has also seen various municipal service calls in 2023, including responses to a water complaint, tree maintenance requests, graffiti removal, and sidewalk blockage issues. Notably, there was a tenant buyout at the neighboring address (536 Pennsylvania Avenue) in July 2023, involving two tenants and totaling $92,600. The building's recent history shows active maintenance in late 2021 through bathroom improvements, but the cluster of enforcement calls in 2023-2024 suggests ongoing concerns with street-level interactions and maintenance in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 560-562 Pennsylvania Ave'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
61stpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 283 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
