Rent & eviction protection

Is 2026-2028 Taylor 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

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.

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

This two-unit residential building located at 2026-2028 Taylor Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood was constructed in 1908 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant modifications over the past four decades, including an attempt to add a room to the existing roof in 1983 (which was ultimately cancelled), the successful addition of a bedroom above ceiling level in 1984, the installation of a fiberglass roof deck cover in 1988, and a window relocation project in 1991. A notable housing complaint was filed in January 2012 regarding peeling paint, though this issue was resolved within five months.

More recent history (2022-2025) reveals several infrastructure concerns, with the most pressing being two sewage backup incidents in late 2023 and early 2024, both of which were addressed by PUC Sewer Operations. The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, with three documented cases in 2023-2025 resulting in at least one citation being issued. There were also two instances of defaced parking signs in April 2023, both of which were resolved, and a case of improper illegal postings in February 2023 that required removal by the SES Graffiti Crew. The building's immediate area has seen general maintenance activities including street cleaning operations in December 2022. While the building itself shows limited internal issues on record, the surrounding infrastructure and public space has required regular attention to address various maintenance and enforcement matters.

Risk rating

How 2026-2028 Taylor 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
86thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 159 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 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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