Rent & eviction protection

Is 1027 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.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1027 Hayes Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Alamo Square, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Spjut Robert J 2003 Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a partial renovation of unit #1 and full renovations of units #2 and #3, along with plans for excavation to create two new stories below grade and install an elevator, filed in August 2023. Completed improvements include window and door replacements in 2018 (including bay windows and rear entry door), a kitchen remodel in unit #3 (2018), and a bathroom/laundry remodel in a second-floor front unit (2014). The building's infrastructure has seen systematic upgrades, including a complete re-roofing project in 2024 costing $32,000, electrical rewiring (2019), plumbing system upgrades, and the installation of a natural gas fireplace (2018).

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, with multiple street space permits issued between 2012-2019 indicating regular use of public space for renovations. Notably, there was a plumbing violation in 2006 regarding a leaking building drain, which was promptly addressed within months. Routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services were conducted in 2002, 2009, 2012, and 2018, with no active violations remaining on record. The property has experienced recurring issues with street maintenance as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2018-2025, primarily related to general cleaning and waste management on the street, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. Recent planning records indicate ongoing substantial development plans for the property, including significant excavation work and major infrastructure improvements, which have received the necessary approvals and permits.

Risk rating

How 1027 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
57thpercentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 131 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

For the past two weeks, neighbors near 1027 hayes st have been dealing with loud and persistent construction-related noise starting at around 7:00 a.m. most mornings. the noise includes heavy banging, power tools, machinery, and frequent loud yelling/hollering from the crew. i have measured noise levels at over 80 db from nearby residences. i understand that 7:00 a.m. may technically be within allowed construction hours, and i am not asking for permitted construction work to stop. however, the early morning noise has been extremely disruptive because the homes are very close together, and the noise carries directly into neighboring bedrooms and work spaces. the loud non-work-related yelling, hollering, and shouting between crew members feels unnecessary and has made the situation much harder to tolerate. this has significantly affected nearby residents¿ sleep, ability to focus while working from home, and general quality of life. -cont.
