Rent & eviction protection

Is 789-793 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.

Built 1911
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-unit residential building at 789-793 Page Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Ethan Davidoff and Eli Santos, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, including bathroom and kitchen remodels in units 791 (2011) and throughout the building (2015-2016), with associated plumbing and electrical work. A notable safety concern emerged in 2017 when multiple violations were recorded, including issues with fire extinguisher certification, egress obstruction, combustible storage, and lighting problems, all of which were abated by June 2017. The building also faced concerns about mold and balcony safety that same year. More recently, in 2024, there have been some maintenance issues reported through 311 calls, including a missing side sewer vent cover and instances of debris removal. The property has experienced recurring fire safety inspection complaints over the years, particularly regarding fire extinguishers and exit maintenance, though most were found to have "No Merit" upon investigation. The rear upper balcony and roof were removed in 2017 to address code violations, and there have been several instances of graffiti reported on or near the property, with the most recent case in 2023.

Risk rating

How 789-793 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
49thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 524 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)
