Rent & eviction protection

Is 586 Paris 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 before 1979
Built 1913
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1913
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-family residential building at 586 Paris Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by the Gurson S Dang 1990 Trust, has experienced several concerning events throughout its history. Most notably, in October 2020, a serious building complaint was filed regarding the main structure's deteriorating condition, including structural problems, disconnected rainwater leaders, and a reportedly loose roof that posed safety risks to passing vehicles and pedestrians. This complaint, while not currently active, raises significant safety concerns. The building's maintenance history shows minimal documented plumbing work, with only one gas houseline extension permitted in 2012.

Recent months (late 2024 to early 2025) have seen numerous service calls related to the property, though most pertain to external issues rather than building safety. These include multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations, garbage and debris on the street, and issues with parking enforcement. A sewage back-up discharge incident from a side sewer vent was reported and resolved in late October 2024, indicating potential plumbing system challenges. The building's history includes one minor fire complaint in 2012 regarding weed and grass maintenance, which was promptly addressed. While the property is classified as multi-family residential with three units, the documented history suggests ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding the building's exterior structure and plumbing systems.

Risk rating

How 586 Paris 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
39thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 206 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
