Rent & eviction protection

Is 2049-2053 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 1911
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 1911
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-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2049-2053 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Sandra S London 2015 Trust, was constructed in 1911 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. The property has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, including a voluntary seismic strengthening project in 2007 that involved installing anchor bolts to secure the building's concrete foundation and sill plate, and compliance with a 2011 notice of violation that required strapping water heaters and repairing back stairs. Multiple routine inspections between 2001 and 2011 revealed various maintenance needs, including stair repairs, handrail replacements, fire safety improvements, and electrical work, all of which have been completed according to the records.

The building's recent history shows regular maintenance attention, with roofing work completed in 2011 and no major structural issues reported in the past decade. While there have been numerous 311 calls in the vicinity since 2021, primarily related to street cleaning and waste management issues, these external matters do not directly affect building safety or maintenance. The most pressing recent concern appears to be a tree-related issue reported in July 2024 regarding potential damage to windows or the building, though this is still listed as an open case. The building's record suggests that major safety concerns have been addressed promptly when identified, with all documented violations being resolved through appropriate repairs and improvements. The most recent building permits indicate that regular maintenance and safety compliance work continues to be prioritized, maintaining the property's overall structural integrity and safety standards.

Risk rating

How 2049-2053 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
60thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 453 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
