530 Bartlett St

Inner Mission, SF 94110 6569020 6 units · 2 fl · 1959

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 530 Bartlett 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 1959
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1959
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-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 530 Bartlett Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Zucconi Survivors Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades since its construction in 1959. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2018 (with an original permit cost of $80,000), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements include an upcoming fire alarm system upgrade, currently permitted for $14,484, to meet 2022 California Building Code (CBC) and California Fire Code (CFC) requirements, which will add features such as low-frequency sounders, horn/strobes in common areas, and monitoring capabilities. The building has also received substantial electrical system upgrades, including a new 400-amp main electrical service, with both permits issued in 2024.

The property has maintained an active approach to building maintenance and safety compliance, with regular inspections and prompt attention to identified issues. A 2014 fire safety violation regarding fire extinguisher recharging was resolved within a year, and a 2018 complaint about unpermitted garage work was investigated. The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including window replacements in 2010 and 2015, siding installations in 2010 and 2015, and fire system upgrades in 2015. Recent activity in 2023-2024 has primarily involved maintenance and compliance matters, including several parking-related complaints and general cleaning issues in the surrounding area, which are typical for urban settings. The building's fire alarm system has received particular attention, with multiple upgrades and maintenance actions recorded, including a fire complaint in early 2023 which was promptly resolved.

Risk rating

How 530 Bartlett 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1357 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

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