Rent & eviction protection

Is 5473-5475 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 1937

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 1937
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 5473-5475 Mission Street is a one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1937, containing three units and owned by Chung Kai Kwong & Yee Ping. The most significant recent event in the building's history occurred in June 2021, when a vehicle accident damaged the left side of the garage, displacing a section of non-bearing wall and impacting the garage door. This incident prompted a Notice of Violation, which was subsequently addressed through repairs completed in September 2021 at a cost of $5,000. The building has undergone three reroofing projects over the years, with documented work in 1990 ($0 cost), 2015 (Cancelled - $6,500), and 2017 ($9,500), indicating regular maintenance of this critical building component.

The property and surrounding area have experienced various maintenance and graffiti issues in recent years. Current open matters as of 2024 include pavement defects and graffiti on the building, while recent historical cases show completed resolutions for an encampment pickup (December 2022), automotive accident debris (June 2021), and a missing side sewer vent cover (February 2019). The building's systems appear generally well-maintained, with the property-specific repairs from the 2021 incident being addressed promptly through proper channels. Regular monitoring of the property and surrounding street conditions can be inferred from the various 311 calls, though many of these relate to public infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 5473-5475 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
55thpercentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 54 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
