Rent & eviction protection

Is 728-732 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.

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 1885
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 residential building at 728-732 Hayes Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Christopher Kanaan, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1885. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past few decades, with the most recent substantial work occurring in late 2021 and 2023, including a $50,000 remodel of one kitchen and two bathrooms, installation of LED lighting, and electrical upgrades with a new 200-amp sub-panel. However, there has been recent concern regarding work being performed beyond the scope of permitted modifications, as evidenced by a November 2023 complaint investigation. The building has a history of maintenance and safety-related improvements, including multiple kitchen and bathroom renovations, deck repairs, and electrical work, though some 1998 permits related to reroofing and deck repairs have since expired.

The property has experienced several safety-related incidents over the years, including a carbon monoxide incident, a confined cooking fire, and three gas-related emergencies, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The building has undergone routine safety inspections in 2003, 2009, 2018, and most recently in 2023, with various violations documented and subsequently abated, particularly in 2003 when issues related to fire safety and security requirements were identified, including the need for proper fire extinguishers and self-closing exterior doors. More recently, there has been a pattern of parking violations near the property, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking between 2024 and 2025, though these incidents occurred outside the building itself. The property's planning records indicate a proposal for additional improvements, including new bathrooms, roof deck modifications, and some structural changes, though the current status of these proposed changes is marked as "Closed - Informational."

Risk rating

How 728-732 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.
