Rent & eviction protection

Is 595-599 Naples 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 1902

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.

Built 1902
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 595-599 Naples Street is a two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Syts Investment LLC. The building has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over the years, including the successful completion of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) project in 2019 valued at $200,000, and multiple renovation projects between 2008-2019 involving substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades, including complete rewiring of both floors and plumbing renovations of bathrooms and kitchens. The property experienced multiple housing code violations in 2019, including issues with mold, interior surfaces, and lead paint concerns, all of which were abated by September 2019. There are also more recent maintenance concerns, including a work complaint in February 2023 regarding a non-functional gas stove vent/hood system, and ongoing issues with a leak reported in December 2024. Historical records indicate some unauthorized modifications occurred, with a complaint filed in 2017 regarding extensive unpermitted work in the rear building, though this complaint was eventually abated in 2022.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various structural and safety concerns, including dry rot repairs in 2016, multiple bathroom and kitchen remodels, and compliance with various building codes. The property underwent significant improvements in 2009 when both floors received complete electrical rewiring and various systems were upgraded. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing issues with exterior maintenance, particularly regarding garbage and debris management as observed in 2024. While the majority of historical code violations have been resolved, some recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Current building records show work related to modifying the facade of the detached structure, including window modifications and garage door changes, though this appears to be within the permitted building envelope. The property has maintained its status as a multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, as originally designed, despite historical concerns about unauthorized unit conversions that were subsequently addressed through proper permitting processes.

Risk rating

How 595-599 Naples 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
6thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 317 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
