Rent & eviction protection

Is 150-154 Eastman 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
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.

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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 150-154 Eastman Street in Russian Hill, owned by H & K Union Street Holdings, has undergone significant renovations since 2016, when it was converted from a 6-family to a 9-family dwelling by adding three accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in the basement level. The building, constructed in 1908, has completed substantial upgrades including a comprehensive fire safety system modernization in 2019 with new smoke detectors, horn strobes, and low-frequency sounders, followed by additional fire alarm upgrades in 2020 to meet 2021 mandates. Recent construction work (2018-2020) involved extensive plumbing and electrical improvements, including the installation of new boilers, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and electrical panel upgrades across multiple units.

The building experienced a serious incident in late 2008 when a fire occurred, leading to a period of unsafe conditions that required remediation and reconstruction. Since then, the property has demonstrated commitment to safety improvements, including completing mandatory soft-story seismic upgrades. While there have been periodic false fire alarm activations and system malfunctions recorded, no civilian injuries have occurred in these instances. The building has maintained regular construction activity, with some complaints about work hours in 2018, though most recent permit activity suggests completion of major systems upgrades and unit improvements. The property has a history of addressing both routine maintenance and substantial system upgrades, with permits showing consistent investment in improving building infrastructure and resident safety.

Risk rating

How 150-154 Eastman 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
11thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1008 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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