Rent & eviction protection

Is 309-317 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 1925

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 1925
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 22-unit, 5-story building at 309-317 Hyde Street in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, owned by SF Hotel 447 LP, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently active concerns regarding building security and elevator functionality, with an ongoing complaint from June 2026 about unsecured street access and non-functioning elevators critical for elderly residents on upper floors. This is not the first time elevator issues have been reported, as a similar complaint was filed in March 2020. The building has undergone some significant recent improvements and addressed safety concerns, including a complete re-roofing project in 2024, the legalization of an awning for Sing Sing Coffee Shop, and an upgrade to the fire alarm system in 2021 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. An accessible business entrance program was also implemented in 2023, though one related permit was cancelled due to structural technical infeasibility.

The property has generated considerable service requests, with 240 filings in the past seven years, though many recent complaints from mid-2026 mainly pertain to garbage issues and noise disturbances. The building's history shows regular maintenance activity, including multiple attempted improvements to meet safety and accessibility standards, though not all permit applications have progressed to completion. Of particular note is the building's history of fire incidents, with four recorded over the past seven years, highlighting the importance of ongoing safety improvements like the recent fire alarm system upgrade. While some recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and security challenges, the property has also seen significant investments in infrastructure improvements, as evidenced by the total construction cost of approximately $111,440 in permitted work over the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 309-317 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
49th percentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 88 are predicted to be safer.
