560 Arlington St

Glen Park, SF 94131 6726022 3 units · 3 fl · 1910

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 560 Arlington 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 1910

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 1910
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 560 Arlington Street in Glen Park, built in 1910 and owned by Christopher Joseph Rodehau, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade. The most substantial work occurred in 2015-2016, focusing on Unit 3, including a complete renovation with a new kitchen and bath ($60,000), furnace and duct work installation ($6,000), and comprehensive electrical work involving removal of old wiring, rewiring, and panel relocation. This unit also received new plumbing, including water heater replacement and related improvements. The building had notable maintenance issues in 2009-2010, when violations were recorded regarding exterior decks, porch structures, and fire safety requirements, including combustible storage and fire extinguisher needs, though these were subsequently addressed through corrective work totaling $8,000. Earlier records show various maintenance and upgrade work, including aluminum window installation in 1986, dry rot repairs in 1997, and multiple street space permits in 2015-2016.

More recent history (2022-2024) shows the building has been actively maintained, with no major building violations recorded since 2014. The property is currently undergoing a tenant buyout at the adjacent 556 Arlington Street address, involving two tenants with a buyout amount of $65,000 as of September 2024. Recent external maintenance issues have been primarily related to street conditions and public areas, with several 311 calls in 2022-2024 regarding graffiti, general cleaning, and hazardous materials on the street, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The property's most recent building inspection records are from 2014, showingroutine inspections were conducted by Housing Inspection Services, and all cited violations have been marked as abated.

Risk rating

How 560 Arlington 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
28thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 262 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
