Rent & eviction protection

Is 4 Keyes Aly 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.

Built 1906
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 7-unit multi-family residential building at 4 Keyes Alley in Nob Hill, owned by Nicolas Fabien-pierre & Kim, is a three-story TIC building constructed in 1906. The property has undergone several significant improvements, most notably completing mandatory seismic strengthening work in 2019 as part of San Francisco's Soft Story program, which included the installation of shear walls and spiral steel moment frames at a cost of $60,000. The building underwent extensive renovations between 2008-2011, including large-scale remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms across multiple floors, electrical system upgrades to 400 amps, and bathroom repairs. In 2015, the building addressed issues of dry rot in a bathroom. Multiple plumbing and electrical improvements were made during 2008-2011, including kitchen remodels, water heater installations, and various fixture replacements.

The building had several violations in the early 2000s related to security requirements, fire safety, and building maintenance, though all were abated by June 2003. Two complaints in 2008-2010 concerning unauthorized construction work at the rear of the building were filed but subsequently resolved. The property has undergone multiple routine safety inspections between 1999 and 2016, with no active violations on record. In recent years, there have been minimal issues reported, with only one 311 call regarding illegal parking in 2020 and a general cleaning request in 2016, both of which were resolved. The building's most recent structural work, specifically the soft story retrofit, was completed and certified, bringing the building into compliance with current seismic safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 4 Keyes Aly'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
40thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 675 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
