Rent & eviction protection

Is 28 Bannan 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.

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 1907
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 residential building at 28 Bannan Place in Telegraph Hill, currently owned by 1429 Grant Ave LLC, has a complex history dating back to its 1907 construction. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2023, a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized residential construction leading to noise and pedestrian hazards, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The building has experienced two concerning incidents involving human waste or urine on the property, with the most recent complaint still open as of July 2026.

The property has seen substantial permitted work totaling $187,001 in construction costs over the past seven years. Recent permits show ongoing maintenance and improvements, including a rooftop deck installation, ground floor unit remodeling, accessibility upgrades to commercial spaces, skylight additions, and window modifications to address previous non-compliance issues. In September 2023, permits were issued for siding repairs on both the north and south sides of the building, and for rebuilding non-compliant stairs and stair walls at the property line. The building's permit history suggests active management of maintenance and improvement projects, though the recent history of construction-related complaints indicates some oversight challenges.

Risk rating

How 28 Bannan 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
