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 1531-1533 Quesada 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 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type

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 1900
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 1531-1533 Quesada Avenue in Bayview is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Rick Ung. The building has experienced several notable events over the past two decades, with the most concerning issues occurring between 2005-2009. In 2005, a significant complaint was filed regarding structural concerns, roof leaks, and other maintenance issues, which remained unresolved until September 2006. In September 2009, multiple violations were documented including fire safety concerns (such as egress obstructions and missing fire extinguishers), security issues with the side gate, and a requirement for proper reinspection protocols. Fortunately, these violations were all abated by October 2009.

Recent activity at the property indicates ongoing maintenance and neighbor relations challenges. There are multiple open 311 calls from 2024, including complaints about excessive noise, mechanical equipment issues, and parking violations. A building inspection in July 2024 noted peeling paint. The most recent building permit was issued in September 2018 for street space use. Historical complaints from 1998 revealed concerns about mold, window issues, door installation problems, security breaches, and pest infestation, while a routine inspection in 1999 generated no significant findings. The property has maintained active occupancy throughout these periods, with regular inspections and responses to tenant concerns.

Risk rating

How 1531-1533 Quesada 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
87thpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 50 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
