Rent & eviction protection

Is 750 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

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 two-unit residential building at 750 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by John R. Gall and Beve Anderson, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, most notably in 2005 with attempts at foundation replacement and garage reconfiguration valued at $120,000, though this permit ultimately expired. Major renovations occurred in 2007, including electrical rewiring of the garage and half-bath, plumbing updates including water heater relocation and sewer replacement, and the installation of an automatic garage door opener. The building has experienced recurring safety and maintenance issues, particularly regarding handrails and weatherproofing. A series of violations in 2009 documented problems including the need for handrails, weatherproofing repairs, and concerns about lead paint hazards. The most recent handrail-related issues were addressed in 2020, following complaints in 2016 and 2012.

Recent maintenance work includes a 2022 back deck repair costing $1,500, though there was a complaint about loud construction during this period. The building experienced a gas leak incident (412 Gas leak - natural gas or LPG) at an unspecified date with no civilian injuries reported. In 2005-2006, the property faced significant structural concerns including a failing retaining wall and various building code violations that were eventually resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety concerns, though some permits (including those from 2005 and 1987) expired without completion. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved driveway access issues, with multiple parking enforcement calls recorded between early 2024 and mid-2024, though many of these could not be validated upon officer response.

Risk rating

How 750 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
65thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 359 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)
