Rent & eviction protection

Is 958-962 Oak 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

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 residential building at 958-962 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Asti A Calif LLC, has undergone significant renovations in recent years, particularly between 2019-2020. The property completed substantial interior upgrades including a kitchen remodel in October 2019 ($15,000) with new cabinets, sink, range hood, and electrical improvements, followed by a bathroom renovation in January 2020 ($12,500) that involved replacing fixtures, drywall, and installing a new fan. Earlier electrical upgrades were completed in 2013, including a main service entrance upgrade for all three units and repairs to electrical components in response to a complaint.

The building's history shows several maintenance and safety concerns, with the most serious issues occurring between 2009-2010, including hazardous premises violations, structural concerns with wood stairs, and electrical/fire safety issues such as unapproved cord wiring and fire extinguisher maintenance problems. These violations were officially abated in May 2011. More recent concerns include a 2022 complaint about the backyard's condition and a 2016 report of hoarding in one unit, both of which were marked as not active. The property has also experienced periodic external maintenance issues, with several 311 calls between 2013-2024 reporting sidewalk defects, graffiti, and garbage concerns, though most of these were resolved promptly. A 2016 fire complaint regarding combustible materials was corrected within six weeks. Regular street space permits have been issued throughout the records, suggesting ongoing attention to exterior maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 958-962 Oak 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
88thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 123 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location
