Rent & eviction protection

Is 2560-2562 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 1908

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 1908
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 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2560-2562 Hyde St in Russian Hill, owned by the Tane Ong Chan Trust 2004, has several significant building safety issues that require attention. The property, constructed in 1908, is currently listed as a "Tier 3 Non-Compliant" soft-story building under San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, with an active violation filed in April 2020 citing failure to complete mandatory seismic retrofit work and associated inspections. Although a permit for mandatory seismic retrofitting was issued in 2017 with an estimated cost of $47,000, the building remains out of compliance with the 2016 SF Building Code requiring earthquake safety improvements. The building also has a history of various structural and safety-related work, including a permit from 2006 for repair of two structural wood posts along the east side, and more recent plumbing work in 2024 for repair and replacement of the house trap.

Recent infrastructure upgrades attempted include electrical improvements in 2018 for a new 400-amp main service with meters, and in 2021 for the relocation of gas lines and meters, though both permits have since expired. The building has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years (2000-2006) and has faced multiple building violations. While there have been no major fire incidents affecting the building itself, multiple false alarms and smoke-related incidents have been recorded nearby. The property is subject to ongoing monitoring requirements and associated fees related to the soft-story program non-compliance, which could impact resident fees or services.

Risk rating

How 2560-2562 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
20thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 906 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

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