Rent & eviction protection

Is 316-322 Scott 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

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 property at 316-322 Scott Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Danielle Mary Benz, is a multi-family residential building that has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in November 2023, the building received a new roof at a cost of $16,000. In 2021, substantial interior renovations were completed, including bathroom remodeling, laundry installation, and kitchen relocation work, with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling $40,000. Earlier improvements include multiple bathroom remodels (2018 and 2007), window replacements (2009), and various infrastructure upgrades such as a tankless water heater installation (2012) and kitchen improvements (2005).

The building's history includes several concerning incidents that have since been resolved. In 2004, there were multiple housing code violations related to lead paint hazards, plumbing issues, and interior surface problems, all of which were abated by September 2004. Other historical complaints include a 2017 concern about a carbon pipe position, 2014 issues with roof leaks and mold, and the most serious incident in 1998 involving raw sewage backups affecting multiple units. More recent infrastructure maintenance has included resolving a missing side sewer vent cover (2023) and handling various sidewalk-related issues documented through 311 calls. The building has experienced two fire-related incidents, both of which were false alarms, with no injuries reported. While the property has undergone numerous improvements, the historical violations and complaints highlight the importance of ongoing maintenance and safety checks, though no active violations or complaints are currently on record.

Risk rating

How 316-322 Scott 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
90thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 103 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
