Rent & eviction protection

Is 1900-1906 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 1908
2 or more units

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

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 four-story multi-family residential building at 1900-1906 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by Finholdt Ingebretson Maclur, was constructed in 1908 and contains 7 units. The property has undergone significant recent upgrades, including a $30,000 fire alarm system replacement in 2024 to meet current fire marshal codes and the installation of low frequency sounders in residential units. Additional improvements have included the replacement of multiple windows in 2022-2024 (Units 2, 4, and 6) with aluminum clad wood and wood single-hung windows, and the installation of a new 400-amp electrical service with 6 residential meters and 2 commercial meters in 2024. The building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2017, addressing seismic safety requirements for both the residential and commercial components.

Recent maintenance and safety improvements include a sewer and house trap replacement in 2024, and various routine repairs throughout the building's history. The property has experienced recurring issues with building vacancy, as evidenced by recent complaints about an active vacant commercial storefront (2024) and a previously vacant commercial structure (2023). Historical violations recorded in 2001-2008 primarily concerned fire safety issues, security requirements, and interior maintenance, all of which have since been abated. The building has experienced several false alarms and system malfunctions related to its fire safety systems, though no civilian injuries have been reported in any fire incidents. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2021 for Unit 1906, with the tenant receiving $68,796.46 in compensation.

Risk rating

How 1900-1906 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 884 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
