Rent & eviction protection

Is 1530 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 1909
2 or more units

Property type

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1909
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-story, six-unit apartment building at 1530 Hyde Street in Nob Hill, built in 1909 and currently owned by 1530 Hyde LLC, has a documented history primarily focused on fire safety and maintenance issues. The building experienced multiple fire safety concerns between 2003-2008, including violations for expired hallway fire extinguishers, personal belongings blocking rear stairs, a door closure issue, and problems with garbage receptacle placement that required remediation. In 2006, the fire alarm system was addressed through the installation of a new panel to replace a non-functional unit, with related electrical permits indicating proper completion of this critical safety upgrade.

Earlier records show attempts to construct a parking floor at the rear of the lot in 1996, along with reroofing work, though these permits ultimately expired. More recent history (2015-2018) includes several reports of loose garbage conditions outside the building and one parking-related incident, with all these cases being resolved through standard municipal procedures. The building's recent permit history is minimal, with only a street space permit recorded in 2010, suggesting limited recent modifications or improvements to the property.

Risk rating

How 1530 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 37.1%
Moderate concern 28.7%
Severe concern 34.2%
