Rent & eviction protection

Is 405-413 Laguna 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 four-story, 14-unit apartment building at 405-413 Laguna St in Hayes Valley, built in 1900, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. The property has completed its mandatory Soft Story seismic retrofit program (Tier 3) and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). Between 2020 and 2022, multiple units underwent substantial rehabilitation work including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, with units 1a, 1b, 2b, 3a, 4c, and 4d all receiving improvements, along with the installation of in-unit washer/dryer facilities. The building has also seen major infrastructure upgrades, including a new 400-amp electrical service installation in 2020, and various fire safety improvements such as the addition of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and fire alarm system upgrades.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both resident amenities and safety compliance. Noteworthy issues have largely been addressed, including a 2020 electrical complaint that remains as of April 2024, and historical violations related to self-closing doors and unpermitted reroofing from 2000 and 2009, respectively. Fire safety inspections between 2010 and 2023 revealed various issues with systems that were subsequently corrected, demonstrating ongoing attention to life safety systems. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance and street conditions rather than building-specific issues. The property's comprehensive renovation history, including structural pest control work and various unit upgrades, suggests active management and investment in maintaining and improving the building's residential amenities and safety systems.

Risk rating

How 405-413 Laguna 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.
