Rent & eviction protection

Is 306-310 Fell 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 1907

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.

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, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 306-310 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Edwards D H & M A, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1907. Most notably, the property completed mandatory fire safety system upgrades in 2022, including a like-for-like voluntary system replacement and horn upgrade to meet SFFD requirements, along with comprehensive electrical panel replacements in 2023 to replace outdated Federal Pacific equipment. The building successfully completed a required soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety mandates. Recent maintenance and improvements have included waste piping replacement in 2022, electrical system upgrades, and various unit renovations.

The building has experienced periodic maintenance and safety issues over the years, with several routine safety inspections revealing problems that were subsequently addressed. A significant incident occurred in 2015 when a tenant was injured on deteriorated stairs, though this issue was eventually resolved. The property has had multiple fire alarm system-related concerns between 2009 and 2018, with most classified as "Condition Corrected" upon follow-up inspections. While there have been numerous recent 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in the vicinity, these are external to the building itself. Recent improvements to the surrounding area include planned streetscape enhancements as part of the Linden Alley Living Street Improvements, which aim to improve pedestrian access and stormwater management.

Risk rating

How 306-310 Fell 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
8thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 945 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
