568-572 Hayes St

Hayes Valley, SF 94102 0807009 6 units · 3 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 568-572 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 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-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 568-572 Hayes Street, owned by Rki Investments LLC, was constructed in 1900 and includes retail space. The building has undergone significant structural improvements over the past decade, including a $100,000 basement foundation strengthening project in 2014, and multiple fire safety upgrades, most recently in 2021 when low-frequency sounders and a new fire alarm control panel were installed at a cost of $17,552. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations and complaints regarding alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinkler/standpipe systems between 2021 and 2024, though most have been corrected following inspections.

The building underwent substantial renovations in 2014-2015, including comprehensive electrical work in all three units (new wiring, plugs, switches, lights, and fans) and plumbing updates in units 1-3 (two bathrooms, kitchen, laundry gas lines), along with the installation of three new wall heaters with proper flue installations. Several complaints regarding unauthorized work and construction noise violations were filed during this period, including 11:30 PM work and early morning construction noise concerns in late 2014. Historical violations from 2008 included issues with handrails, electrical outlets, fire alarms, and egress obstructions, all of which were abated by April 2009. Recent developments include a tenant buyout at 580 Hayes Street recorded on January 2, 2025, and a current sidewalk defect (lifted sidewalk) issue reported in September 2024. While the building has experienced multiple fire alarm activations and false alarms over the years, there have been no recorded civilian injuries from these incidents.

Risk rating

How 568-572 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.

Neighborhood percentile
59thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 421 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

Building size

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