Rent & eviction protection

Is 55 Park 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 1963

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 1963
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

55 Park Street is a two-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1963, currently owned by 2425 24th St LLC. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, most notably the completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 ($112,000) which included installing shear walls and moment frames for seismic safety. In 2020, two new ADUs were added at the ground floor ($180,000) following San Francisco's ordinance 162-16. The building has received consistent maintenance and upgrades, including multiple unit renovations (2014-2015) involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements.

Recent concerns include a 2023 complaint about a broken stove and overloaded garage/lobby areas, and a 2022 inspection that noted issues with weatherproofing, egress obstruction, and sanitation - all of which have been marked as not active. The building has a history of fire safety violations, with multiple instances between 2013-2022 related to alarm systems and extinguishers, though all were corrected. The property has maintained compliance with all building codes, as evidenced by the completed soft-story retrofit and systematic updates to individual units. Recent 311 calls (2023-2025) primarily concern parking-related issues and street cleaning matters, rather than building-specific problems. While there have been various building complaints over the years, most have been resolved within reasonable timeframes, indicating proper management response to maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 55 Park 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

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1238 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Building size

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

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 10.6%
Moderate concern 63.2%
Severe concern 26.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
