Rent & eviction protection

Is 2735-2737 Hyde 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 1927
2 or more units

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 1927
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 2735-2737 Hyde Street property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with a ground floor garage that was converted into a restaurant space, located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1927 and currently owned by David T. Ho, this flats/duplex building has undergone significant modifications since 2016, with the most substantial changes occurring during a 2016-2022 renovation period that included the conversion of the garage space to a restaurant and various infrastructure upgrades. The renovation project involved multiple permits and inspections, including the installation of a new fire suppression system for kitchen equipment ($6,000 in 2022), comprehensive plumbing work including sewer pipe replacement and new restaurant fixtures, and electrical system upgrades such as a 400A service installation and panel work ($88,000 total in 2019). Of particular note, there was one formal building complaint filed in 2016 regarding weekend construction noise from the garage conversion, and multiple permits were issued for revisions and completions of the restaurant conversion project, including the recent 2023 permit for documenting as-built conditions.

The building's maintenance history includes a 2014 reroofing project ($14,500), and there were three significant housing-related complaints recorded between 1994-1999, primarily concerning electrical service issues and water damage, though these were resolved over 24 years ago. Recent issues documented through 311 calls (2020-2024) have been primarily related to external matters such as graffiti and street cleaning, rather than building-specific concerns. The property's renovation work has been extensively documented through multiple permit types including building, plumbing, and electrical, with all major work receiving appropriate inspections and approvals, suggesting that the building systems have been substantially upgraded and modernized through the recent construction period.

Risk rating

How 2735-2737 Hyde 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
99thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 11 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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.
