Rent & eviction protection

Is 1855-1859 Egbert 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 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

The property at 1855-1859 Egbert Avenue in Bayview is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Arsenio Xar Lopez. The building's most significant recent issues are documented through a series of permits and violations from 2009-2015, when it was found to have been illegally converted from its original one-family dwelling status to a five-unit residential building, complete with unauthorized kitchens and improper modifications. This led to multiple code violations including unapproved wiring, plumbing issues, inadequate fire safety measures, and improper exiting arrangements, though some of these violations were addressed through subsequent permits in 2014 and 2015 for the legalization of rooms, bathrooms, and laundry facilities.

The building has experienced persistent maintenance and habitability issues in recent years, with multiple tenant complaints in 2019 regarding bathroom lighting, hot water, mold, and pest infestations. The property has also had documented problems with sewage discharge from side sewer vents in January 2025, along with multiple reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity. While there was one fire-related violation recorded in 2020 regarding required fire extinguishers, this was subsequently abated. Historical records indicate various structural modifications and repairs over the years, including a horizontal addition completed in 1996 and a roof repair in 1993, though some related permits from the 1990s are listed as expired. The building has been the subject of multiple 311 calls in early 2025, primarily related to sewage issues and street cleaning matters.

Risk rating

How 1855-1859 Egbert 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
90thpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 38 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
