Rent & eviction protection

Is 756 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.

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.

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 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 756 Page Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1924, has undergone significant renovations and faced several safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is a recent gas-related violation from April 2024 involving carbon monoxide concerns that was reported through the housing inspection division and not fully resolved until August 2024, though the exact nature of the resolution is unclear. The building completed its mandatorySoft Story Retrofit Program requirements, receiving a Certificate of Final Completion in 2024, which included seismic retrofit work as required by San Francisco Building Code. The property has seen substantial improvements since 2019, including the addition of two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on the first floor, comprehensive fire safety upgrades including sprinkler system installation, new fire alarm systems, and significant individual unit renovations such as the 2021 kitchen remodel in Unit 6 and the 2019 bathroom remodel in the same unit.

The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with the fire alarm system, with multiple complaints and violations dating from 2012 to 2024, though most have been marked as corrected. There have been several complaints regarding exterior maintenance and common areas, particularly in 2023-2024, including issues with a trash room, hallway lighting, and paint debris. The property has undergone numerous unit improvements, including window replacements, bathroom remodeling, and kitchen renovations, suggesting active management despite the recurring safety issues. Additionally, the building's systems have been extensively upgraded, including electrical rewiring, plumbing improvements, and the installation of new high-efficiency water heaters and furnaces in 2019, indicating ongoing investment in building infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 756 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 1006 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
