Rent & eviction protection

Is 655 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 1913
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1913
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 14-unit, 3-story building at 655 Hyde Street, constructed in 1913 and currently owned by Mrg 655 Llc, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in 2024 that warrant attention. Most notably, the building has received six Notices of Violation in July 2024 related to critical systems and safety features, including an outdated heating system requiring modification following the 2020 heat ordinance update, improper placement of trash and recycling bins in relation to fire safety requirements, an expired boiler operating permit, inadequate stairway lighting, missing smoke alarms at roof access points, and deficiencies in the basement's fire-resistant ceiling surfaces. The building has also faced recurring housing quality issues, with three tenant complaints between 2024 and 2025 regarding plumbing problems—including a bathtub drainage issue and water supply problems—kitchen facility deterioration, and exposed electrical wiring concerns.

While the building has made some improvements, such as completing a fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 valued at approximately $18,000, recent service requests (July 2026) indicate ongoing challenges, particularly regarding waste management and sanitation issues, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and related concerns. The building's record shows a total of 1257 311 service requests over the past seven years, along with four DBI complaints and 13 Notices of Violation, suggesting a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges that have persisted over time.

Risk rating

How 655 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 175 are predicted to be safer.

Building size

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)
