Rent & eviction protection

Is 5160 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 before 1979
Built 1912

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.

Built 1912
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 5160 Mission Street is a mixed-use building constructed in 1912, containing 2 residential units and commercial space, currently owned by Laylay Guillermo & Luningni. The building has a significant history of building code violations and tenant safety concerns, most notably regarding unauthorized unit modifications. An active complaint from 2021 regarding an illegal ground-level unit with full bath, kitchen, and multiple rooms remains a primary issue, with recent attempts to address this violation including a filed permit in November 2023 to legalize five ground-level rooms. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues, with recent complaints in April 2024 highlighting concerns about plumbing (tub/shower and sink repairs needed), electrical wiring problems, general dilapidation, and the absence of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. Previous violations include a blocked exit in 2021 (which was corrected) and multiple fire code violations in 2019 related to sprinkler maintenance, electrical hazards, and obstructed locations, all of which were abated.

The property has also undergone several infrastructure improvements, including electrical upgrades in 2018-2020 with smart meter installation and 200A panel upgrade, though these permits have since expired. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural issues, including dry rot repairs and window replacements in 2002 and 2011, though there have been multiple complaints over the years regarding unauthorized construction, including concerns about an unpermitted door installation in 2017 that was subsequently corrected. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with garbage/debris management and a damaged side sewer vent cover, though these are routine municipal service matters rather than building violations. While the building has had numerous code violations and maintenance issues, many of these have been addressed through permits or have been marked as abated, though the active illegal unit complaint remains a significant outstanding issue.

Risk rating

How 5160 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
14thpercentile

Out of 112 buildings in this neighborhood, 96 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
