Rent & eviction protection

Is 766 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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, two-story multi-family residential building at 766 Hayes Street, owned by the Fernando Exposito Estate, has experienced significant structural and maintenance issues since its construction in 1900. Recent activity includes a filed permit in November 2024 for foundation upgrades and infill work, and an issued permit in September 2024 for a bathroom remodel costing $28,000. The property has a documented history of serious maintenance violations, particularly between 2019-2024, with recurring issues related to stairs and deck safety. In 2020, multiple notices of violation (NOV) were issued regarding rotted deck and front stairs, followed by repairs completed in 2023 costing over $8,600. The building has also faced several heating system failures and interior maintenance problems, with the most concerning violation being a December 2022 complaint about lack of heat and structural concerns, which was finally abated in June 2024.

The property has undergone various repairs and improvements over the years, including the installation of a closed-loop radiant heating system in 2020, bathroom renovations, and multiple stair and deck repairs. Planning records show approved work for infill below the second floor and rear deck repairs. Tenant buyouts have occurred at the property, with the most recent in October 2024 for $145,201 affecting two tenants. The building's recent history suggests improved maintenance responsiveness, with most current violations being addressed, though issues with heat systems and stair safety have been recurring concerns. The property has generated various 311 calls in the past year, primarily related to street maintenance and graffiti, with some ongoing concerns about tree root impacts on the sidewalk.

Risk rating

How 766 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

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.
