Rent & eviction protection

Is 754-758 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 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 three-unit residential building at 754-758 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Anthony Bowles, has undergone significant renovations in recent years, particularly during 2022. The property, constructed in 1900, completed comprehensive interior updates including the remodel of all three apartments' kitchens and bathrooms with a cost of $75,000, along with the installation of a new roof deck for unit 758 ($22,000), new cornice work on the front facade ($20,000), and a complete reroofing project ($12,800). The building's mechanical systems were also extensively upgraded in early 2022, with three furnace replacements and ductwork modifications, though there was one cancelled electrical permit application for garage work during this period.

Prior to these improvements, the building had experienced a concerning period of vacancy and neglect, with multiple complaints filed in 2009-2021 regarding its condition including lead paint concerns, weatherproofing issues, and general maintenance violations. These violations were officially abated by August 2011. During the renovation period in March 2022, there were complaints about construction noise exceeding acceptable levels and allegations of work being performed beyond the scope of the permits, though these complaints were subsequently marked as not active. A routine safety inspection in 2018 showed no significant issues, and more recent complaints through 311 calls have primarily concerned external matters such as illegal parking and street maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems. The property's planning records indicate proper procedure was followed for the roof deck installation and cornice work, with no public notice requirements due to their compliance with planning code regulations.

Risk rating

How 754-758 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
66thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 349 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

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

Building size

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

Building age

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