Rent & eviction protection

Is 910 Steiner 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 1900
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 1900
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 three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 910 Steiner Street in the Western Addition, owned by the Hamblett Family Living Trust, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2019, voluntary strengthening work was completed on the lowest level, including installation of plywood sheathing, anchor bolts, shear clips, and grade beams at a cost of $75,000. The building has received attention to its mechanical systems, including the installation of a new furnace and duct work in 2011, and a gas houseline extension in 2009. The property experienced multiple violations in August 2008 related to building safety, including issues with stairs, handrails, fire safety equipment, and security features; however, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by October 2008. Historical records show routine safety inspections in 1996 (for termites), 2002, 2010, and 2018, with no ongoing compliance issues.

Recent activity at the property primarily consists of routine maintenance and parking-related concerns, with multiple parking enforcement calls between 2019 and 2023 regarding vehicles blocking driveways. There were also several reports of illegal postings in early 2021 and some street cleaning issues. The building has undergone several structural and safety improvements over the years, including reroofing work in 2008, stair maintenance repairs in 1999, and various safety system upgrades. Notably, there was a tenant buyout recorded in April 2015 involving two tenants for $20,000, though no other buyout records are available. The most recent building-related incidents have been primarily parking enforcement matters, with no reported safety or structural concerns in recent years.

Risk rating

How 910 Steiner 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
56thpercentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 73 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.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
