Rent & eviction protection

Is 410 Steiner St rent-controlled?

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 1980
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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

410 Steiner Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, owned by Eric A. Neplokh and constructed in 1980. The building has undergone several significant renovation projects, with substantial improvements made between 2005-2006 when multiple permits were issued for remodeling work on different units, including a voluntary seismic upgrade valued at $20,000. In 2022, there was a concerning incident involving the building's siding, as reported by a neighbor, though this was quickly addressed within two days of the complaint. The property experienced several building violations in 2008 related to fire safety and security, including issues with fire extinguishers, handrails, and gas meter instructions, all of which were abated by May 14, 2008. More recently, in 2020, there was unauthorized construction activity reported in Unit 2, and in 2023, an electrical-related complaint was filed but ultimately closed as not active. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety improvements, including foundation modifications in 1995 and various interior renovations.

Recent complaints and incidents near the property primarily involve external issues such as parking violations, sidewalk cleaning, and animal control, none of which directly relate to the building's integrity or safety. The most recent building-related issue was an electrical complaint in October 2023, though this was marked as not active. The property has maintained compliance with building codes following the 2008 violations, with no subsequent major violations on record. The building's permit history from 2005-2006 shows significant investment in improvements, while recent years have shown relatively few major building-related issues, with more attention to routine maintenance and external community matters.

Risk rating

How 410 Steiner 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
40thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 616 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
