Rent & eviction protection

Is 58 Leland 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.

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 1941
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 two-story multi-family residential building at 58 Leland Avenue in Visitacion Valley, constructed in 1941 and currently owned by Creative Ideas Catering SF, has undergone significant commercial adaptations in recent years, particularly transitioning from a grocery store to a limited restaurant with accessory catering use. The most recent change of use permit was issued in March 2023, approved to formalize the conversion from limited restaurant to restaurant use without plans. Major renovations in 2019 included substantial commercial tenant improvements valued at $180,000, followed by the installation of an Ul300 Ansul fire system for kitchen safety in 2022. The building has seen comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2021, including the installation of new kitchen equipment and restroom facilities, and significant plumbing work in 2021 that included ADA-compliant bathrooms and commercial kitchen infrastructure.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls in the past year, primarily related to garbage and debris issues along the street, with nine such incidents reported between October 2024 and January 2025. While these external maintenance matters have been individually addressed and resolved, they suggest ongoing challenges with waste management in the immediate vicinity. The building's permit history shows attention to safety and modernization requirements, including a furnace replacement in 2021 and various plumbing improvements, though one plumbing permit from 1989 for toilet work was cancelled. The property has maintained compliance with necessary regulatory requirements, receiving approvals for both health permits and ABC referrals related to its commercial operations.

Risk rating

How 58 Leland 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 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
