Rent & eviction protection

Is 4983 Mission 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 1921
2 or more units

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 1921
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 4983 Mission Street is a 2-unit, single-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Lucas Jesus R Jr. The building underwent a significant period of commercial transformation in 2012 when it was converted into a tattoo studio, which included the installation of specialized equipment such as a sterilization room, exhaust fans, and dedicated electrical circuits, along with necessary plumbing improvements including a two-compartment sink and new lighting fixtures. This commercial conversion also triggered several code compliance issues, particularly with the water heater installation, resulting in multiple violations filed in August 2012 regarding improper flue vent installation, which were ultimately resolved by October 2012 along with the proper vent replacement work.

The property's maintenance history shows various improvements including a 2004 reroofing project and a 1997 horizontal addition, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts by ownership. More recently, the building has faced some sidewalk-related challenges, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in 2024, including reports of human waste. There are also recurring issues with vehicles blocking driveways, with at least three documented incidents this year, though enforcement officers have been unable to locate the offending vehicles in each case. Additionally, graffiti was reported on the building in October 2023 and remains an open issue according to city records. The most recent building permit activity was in 2014 for the installation of a vinyl sign, representing the last recorded significant modification to the property.

Risk rating

How 4983 Mission 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
51stpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 165 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
