Rent & eviction protection

Is 28-30 Bellair Pl 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 1906
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1906
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 28-30 Bellair Place in Telegraph Hill, owned by Barbara Stauffacher Solomon, was constructed in 1906 and currently contains two units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2014, which involved addressing water damage on both levels, upgrading electrical and plumbing systems in two bathrooms and laundry rooms, replacing water heaters, and improving safety features such as relocating water heaters and updating laundry facilities to meet current codes. This work, totaling approximately $25,000, also included electrical improvements such as replacing two sub-panels and correcting various code violations.

Most recently, in August 2024, the building was cited for serious safety concerns regarding blocked fire escape routes and egress obstruction due to vegetation growing from the front sidewalk through the fire escape. This violation remains open and is classified as impacting exits/fire escape systems. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including multiple roof replacements (1996 and 1999), and various interior improvements and code compliance updates. Previous issues have included a 1999 violation for dry rot on decking and rails, which was subsequently corrected. The property has experienced some environmental maintenance challenges, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding tree issues in the past, including a damaged tree removal in 2019 and an overgrown tree issue reported in 2014.

Risk rating

How 28-30 Bellair Pl'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
96thpercentile

Out of 684 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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