Rent & eviction protection

Is 5598 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.

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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 5598 Mission Street in the Outer Mission neighborhood, owned by Guerrero V Espinoza Trust, was constructed in 1958 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $53,000, and is currently in the process of upgrading its fire safety systems with a $21,800 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has a documented history of addressing various safety and maintenance issues, including a sprinkler installation for the garbage chute in 2007, window replacements in 2009 (upgrading from aluminum to vinyl frames), and vinyl siding installation in 2004.

The property has experienced several maintenance challenges, particularly related to water damage, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2016 regarding plumbing issues, including leaks from a dishwasher and bathroom flooding. This led to several violation notices related to water damage and fire safety systems, though these violations were ultimately abated. The building's infrastructure has been maintained through various upgrades, including a hot water heater replacement in 2013 and reroofing work (though records for this permit have expired). Recent 311 calls from 2022-2025 primarily relate to street-level maintenance issues such as garbage and sidewalk cleaning, which while not directly related to the building's condition, may impact the resident experience of the immediate area. The building has had routine housing inspections over the years, with all documented violations being resolved through appropriate corrective actions.

Risk rating

How 5598 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
76thpercentile

Out of 112 buildings in this neighborhood, 27 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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