Rent & eviction protection

Is 27-31 Wayne 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1912
2 or more units

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 1912
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 27-31 Wayne Place in Nob Hill, owned by the Wong Maxine Rev Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements since its construction in 1912. In 2015, the building addressed critical safety concerns by replacing deteriorated rear wood egress stairs and undertaking electrical upgrades throughout all three floors, including installing lights and receptacles. These improvements were part of compliance efforts following a routine safety inspection that revealed multiple violations, including the need for carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and repairs to wood stairs, all of which were abated by June 2016. Earlier maintenance work from 2006 included repairs to handrails, doors, locking devices, and fire safety equipment, following a complaint regarding mold, peeling paint, and a leaking sink.

More recently, the property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as documented through 311 calls, including general cleaning needs, graffiti removal, and sidewalk blockage concerns. These external issues, recorded between 2020 and 2024, primarily relate to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific problems. The building's maintenance history shows responsiveness to safety requirements, with all identified violations being properly addressed and resolved, demonstrating compliance with housing safety standards.

Risk rating

How 27-31 Wayne 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

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
70thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 338 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
