Rent & eviction protection

Is 625 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.

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 1920
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 625 Hyde Street property is a 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by 625 Hyde LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2016 when an $800,000 project added bathrooms and a roof deck to Units 5 and 6, along with interior remodeling throughout the building. The property has experienced persistent vacancy issues, with multiple reports between 2021-2022 documenting unauthorized access by squatters, security concerns, and inadequate maintenance conditions that reportedly created health and safety hazards for neighboring properties. Recent activity includes construction-related noise complaints in early 2025, suggesting ongoing work at the property.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly evident in a cluster of violations from 2005 that included inadequate lighting, lead paint concerns, fire escape maintenance, and plumbing problems, though these violations were eventually abated. More recent concerns relate to a security light issue (2022), an active vacant commercial storefront violation (2022), and periodic reports of garbage and debris issues. Recent plumbing work between 2011-2013 involved significant infrastructure updates, including sewer line replacements and trap installations. The property has also required multiple fire safety inspections and corrections, with the most recent fire complaints in 2022 addressing various safety concerns. While there have been numerous 311 calls regarding the property's condition, most recent issues appear to be concentrated on exterior maintenance rather than interior habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 625 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
