Rent & eviction protection

Is 5533 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 1951

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 1951
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-unit residential building at 5533 Mission Street, owned by 5533 Mission Street LLC, is a single-story flat and store structure built in 1951 located in the Croker Amazon neighborhood. The building underwent reroofing work in 2000 at a cost of $12,000, and has been subject to several routine housing inspections over the years (1999, 2000, 2004, and 2007). A significant cluster of violations was recorded in June 2000, including issues with gas utility shutoff tools, fire extinguisher maintenance, gas meter instructional diagrams, and floor covering repairs, though all were resolved by October 2000.

The property has experienced various fire safety concerns between 2015 and 2023, including problems with electrical systems (2015, 2019, 2023), blocked exits (2019), and issues with extinguishers and street numbering (2018). A noteworthy gas leak incident occurred, though no civilian injuries were reported. More recently, in 2023-2024, there have been multiple parking-related complaints near the property, including issues with blocked driveways and sidewalk parking, though enforcement responses often resulted in no violations being found. The building is currently subject to a planning record indicating a proposed development of 10 apartments with commercial space over parking, though this appears to be in a closed status with CEQA clearance issued.

Risk rating

How 5533 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.

Neighborhood percentile
