Rent & eviction protection

Is 39-67 Taylor 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 1906
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 39-67 Taylor Street building is a 116-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by 57 Taylor I7 LP. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, including numerous unit remodels between 2021 and 2025, with work focused on kitchens, bathrooms, and related infrastructure. However, there are pressing concerns about the building's current condition, as evidenced by multiple active housing complaints from late 2024 detailing serious issues in several units, including plumbing leaks, mold, damaged walls, electrical problems, and broken appliances. A troubling report from December 2024 mentioned an unreported fire in the basement and multiple fire code violations, with additional violations noted throughout 2023-2024 related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and fire escape issues.

Recent renovations include substantial work in multiple units, such as Unit 106's floor and cabinet repairs in January 2025, and Unit 120's comprehensive remodeling in 2023. The building has also seen commercial tenant improvements, including a new restaurant installation in 2024 with associated fire safety upgrades. While there have been ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the building, the recent surge in complaints about basic maintenance, safety systems, and habitability issues indicates significant current challenges. The property management's responsiveness to maintenance requests has been called into question in recent tenant complaints. Additionally, there are several unresolved safety concerns, including elevator functionality and building access issues, as well as multiple 311 calls regarding the building's surroundings.

Risk rating

How 39-67 Taylor 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
7thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 160 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

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