Rent & eviction protection

Is 5061 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 1941

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 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 property at 5061 Mission St, currently owned by Benjamin Sison & Tolosa-s, is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood. Built in 1941, this two-story structure includes four units or less and features commercial space. The building has undergone several significant improvements, most notably a recent comprehensive renovation of unit 5063 completed in October 2023, which included remodeling the kitchen and bathroom with an estimated cost of $60,000. Historical improvements include a concrete retaining wall replacement project completed in 2006 at the rear of the property, which involved demolishing existing timber bulkheads and installing approximately 70 linear feet of new concrete walls, and a re-roofing project undertaken in 1988.

The property has experienced some maintenance and safety concerns in recent years, particularly in 2024. A significant issue is an open sidewalk defect reported in December 2024 regarding a collapsed sidewalk that has yet to be resolved. There have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity throughout 2024, with at least one vehicle being towed due to expired registration. A graffiti incident on the building was reported in January 2024 and remains open as of the current date. The property has also been the subject of several garbage and debris complaints in early 2025, including reports of loose garbage and debris, though these cases have been resolved. Additionally, a sidewalk issue and a sign repair inquiry in 2024 demonstrated some local infrastructure concerns, with one case being directed to SFPD for traffic-related clarification.

Risk rating

How 5061 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.
