Rent & eviction protection

Is 74-78 Page 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 1910

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 1910
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-story multi-family residential building at 74-78 Page Street, owned by David M Collins, was constructed in 1910 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, an unauthorized roof deck installation was reported in September 2019, leading to an active building violation that remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit work, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements in early 2020, with associated foundation revisions costing $3,500. Safety and maintenance concerns have been addressed through various repairs, including a $3,500 project in October 2019 to repair back steps and stair landings between the second and third floors.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety violations, with the most recent violation issued in December 2023 regarding alarm systems. Between 2019 and 2022, multiple fire code violations were documented and subsequently corrected, including issues with standpipes, emergency lighting, exit sign illumination, and building owner contact postings. Historical improvements to the property include a 2009 gas line installation for water heater and dryer, and a 2003 upgrade from fuse panels to circuit breakers. Recent complaints from 2021 regarding construction noise and building vibrations suggest ongoing concerns with construction activities, while a pattern of maintenance issues is evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in the vicinity of the building between October 2024 and December 2024.

Risk rating

How 74-78 Page 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
39thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 626 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
