Rent & eviction protection

Is 417-419 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 1922
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.

Built 1922
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 9-unit, 4-story apartment building at 417-419 Hyde Street in the Tenderloin district, owned by Charles & Sonia Sin, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1922. The most recent significant maintenance issue occurred in 2017 when a bathroom ceiling collapse prompted both housing inspection and subsequent repairs to address hallway lighting and ceiling issues, costing $6,000. The building underwent substantial electrical system upgrades in 2007, including the installation of 136 lights, 40 switches, and a new 400-amp electrical system, along with a fire alarm system installation that was ultimately cancelled. A set of building violations from 2001 raised multiple concerns including fire safety issues (fire escape, extinguishers, alarm system), interior repairs (windows, walls, ceilings), and plumbing problems, all of which were abated by October 2001.

The property has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, with multiple false alarms recorded between 2009 and 2016, though no civilian injuries occurred in any of the documented incidents. Recent concerns primarily focus on external maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 reporting sidewalk cleaning needs and various street maintenance issues, including graffiti and a lifted sidewalk (currently open as of November 2024). The building's history also shows periodic inspections and required repairs relating to fire safety systems, plumbing (fresh-air inlet grates in 2010), and several instances of unauthorized work or expired permits, notably in 2006. While most historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the frequency of recent 311 calls about street conditions and the age of the building suggest ongoing maintenance challenges typical of older urban properties.

Risk rating

How 417-419 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 48 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Building age

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