Rent & eviction protection

Is 706-714 Hayes 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

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 property at 706-714 Hayes Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 710 Hayes Hayes LLC and containing four units. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over recent years, with the most concerning period occurring between late 2020 and early 2021, when multiple tenant complaints were filed regarding unpermitted construction work, including extensive interior demolition, electrical rewiring, and plumbing modifications. These issues led to several building violations, though all were officially abated by October 2023. The building has received substantial improvements since 2020, including comprehensive unit remodels, the installation of fire sprinkler systems, new electrical infrastructure (including a 400-amp service upgrade), and various heating systems.

Recent activity in 2023 has focused on completing previously unaddressed details, such as window improvements and interior partition modifications in unit 714. The building has maintained a relatively clean safety record since the 2020 violations were resolved, with no active building violations or fire incidents. The property owner has demonstrated investment in modernization, with approximately $500,000 in building improvements between 2020 and 2023, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, radiant heating installation, and electrical system upgrades. A tenant buyout was recorded in July 2022 for unit 710, totaling $28,713.27 for one tenant. While there were multiple complaints regarding construction noise and maintenance issues during the renovation period, current building records suggest stable occupancy and proper maintenance following the resolution of the 2020 violations.

Risk rating

How 706-714 Hayes 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.
