Rent & eviction protection

Is 5791-5799 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 1929
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 5791-5799 Mission Street is a 2-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, built in 1929 and currently owned by Jason G. Fong and Cather Leung. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements in recent years, most notably in 2019 when ADA-compliant bathrooms were added on the ground floor with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling $29,000. Prior improvements include kitchen and bath updates in 2015, basement structural repairs in 2012, and major electrical rewiring in 2016. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems, including multiple water heater replacements and furnace upgrades between 2009-2016.

The property has experienced several housing code violations and complaints over its history, with the most recent routine inspection completed in 2017 addressing multiple fire safety and heating system issues, though these were subsequently resolved. Earlier violations from 2001 included fire escape obstructions and gas meter requirements, while a 2009 complaint noted a roach infestation. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk parking, debris, and graffiti, which were generally resolved by city services. The building's tenant improvement history suggests ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention to accessibility and safety features in recent years. The most recent building activity of note is the use of the property as "Woody's Liquor & Grocery" (off-sale general) at the ground floor, which has been appropriately permitted.

Risk rating

How 5791-5799 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
5thpercentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 113 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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