Rent & eviction protection

Is 1735 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 1916
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 1916
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

1735 Hyde Street is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916 in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Hide & Seek Living LLC. The property has undergone significant safety and modernization improvements in recent years, most notably completing its mandatory Tier 3 Soft Story retrofit with a new fire sprinkler system (installed 2020), upgraded fire alarm system (2021), and comprehensive electrical rewiring of all units (2020-2023). The building has received multiple permits for final inspections in 2022-2023, confirming completion of various improvements including plumbing system updates.

The building's history includes several concerning incidents between 2017 and 2019, including violations related to vacant building status, unauthorized entry concerns, and initial non-compliance with the Soft Story Retrofit Program, though these issues appear to have been resolved with recent work completion and certification. Recent work has focused on upgrading individual units, including the installation of new electrical panels and rewiring in units #2 through #6 (2022-2023), and HVAC improvements including furnace replacements and wall heater installations (2020-2023). The property has also faced various 311 calls regarding street maintenance issues in the vicinity, most recently in late 2024, though these are external to the building itself and not directly related to its condition or management.

Risk rating

How 1735 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
17thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 940 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Director's hearings (past 7 years)

Director's hearings are escalated enforcement actions for buildings that haven't resolved violations — a serious signal.
