1755-1759 Hyde St

Russian Hill, SF 94109 0153002 3 units · 2 fl · 1907

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1755-1759 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 1907
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.

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, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1755-1759 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by Frank Lajoy and William Jay H, has undergone several significant improvements since its 1907 construction. The most recent major plumbing updates include backflow valve installations in 2022 and 2018, and the installation of two boilers in 2009, indicating attention to essential systems maintenance. Structural modifications were completed in 1994 to add parking at the lowest floor, and significant interior renovations were performed in 1993-1994, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in units 1757 and 1759, along with porch repairs. The building has passed several routine housing inspections between 1999 and 2011, though one inspection remains marked as not active.

Recent records from 2023-2024 show multiple instances of driveway blocking, with citations issued on several occasions, suggesting an ongoing challenge with street parking in the area. A sidewalk collapse related to a utility vault issue was reported and resolved in May 2020, though this was a street infrastructure matter rather than a building issue. It's worth noting that the building's parking situation appears to have been a concern for decades, as evidenced by the 1994 parking modification project. The property has had regular maintenance and upgrade work performed over the years, with all building permits showing completed or expired status, with no current active permits on file.

Risk rating

How 1755-1759 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
44thpercentile
