Rent & eviction protection

Is 5087-5091 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.

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 1905
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 5087-5091 Mission St, built in 1905, is a two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space (barber shop), containing three residential units and completed by 2012 with proper permits. The building has undergone significant renovations and addressed numerous code compliance issues since 2009. A major unauthorized renovation was documented in 2009, when inspectors found unapproved residential units and modifications, leading to a 2012-2014 remediation process that included legalizing a two-level residential unit at the rear building with a $210,000 permitted improvement. Subsequent structural and maintenance work included dry rot repairs (2013), reroofing (2013), and various utility upgrades, totaling over $220,000 in permitted improvements. The building experienced water damage issues in 2009, which were subsequently addressed, along with plumbing and electrical upgrades.

Recent history shows some ongoing maintenance and safety concerns. In 2023, a safety complaint was filed regarding a potentially hazardous step installation at the property entrance. Prior to that, in 2014, there were complaints about heating and electrical issues, and in 2009, multiple violations related to plumbing and unauthorized modifications were documented and ultimately resolved. The property has also been subject to periodic maintenance needs, as evidenced by recent 311 calls for graffiti removal and general cleaning in 2023-2024. The building's permit and violation history suggests active management of property maintenance and compliance, with most historical issues having been resolved through appropriate permitting or corrective actions. Recent complaints have been primarily related to external factors (e.g., street construction noise) rather than building-specific issues. The property has undergone significant improvements in building systems, including roofing, structural work, and utility systems, particularly during the 2011-2014 period when many of the historical compliance issues were addressed.

Risk rating

How 5087-5091 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
