Rent & eviction protection

Is 1446-1448 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 1948

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 1948
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 two-unit residential building at 1446-1448 Hyde Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Penelope A Pong Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and experienced some maintenance challenges since its construction in 1948. Most notably, in 2024, the building received a new roof at a cost of $23,500, and the electrical system was upgraded with a new 200-amp, two-meter service installation. Prior to these upgrades, a bathroom remodel was permitted in December 2023, involving comprehensive updates to fixtures, tile, floors, and more, though no structural changes were indicated. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing needs, with previous work documented in 1988 and 1997, though the 1997 permit appears to have expired without completion noted in the records.

The property has experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking the driveway, particularly evident in late 2024, with multiple citations issued to offending vehicles between September and December 2024. These enforcement actions suggest an ongoing challenge with parking compliance in the area. Additionally, there was a pavement defect reported in October 2023 that remains open as of the latest records. The building's safety history shows two fire-related incidents: one intentional building fire and one system malfunction, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The combination of recent infrastructure upgrades - including roofing, electrical service improvements, and bathroom remodeling - suggests proactive building maintenance, though the significant number of driveway blocking incidents may impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 1446-1448 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
98thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
