Rent & eviction protection

Is 281-287 Rose 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 4-unit multi-family residential building at 281-287 Rose Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Tischler Family Trust, is a two-story structure built in 1900 that has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2020, the property underwent window replacements with Andersen wood-clad windows and electrical system upgrades, including a 200-amp main service panel replacement and the addition of three new circuits. A notable safety incident occurred in 2017 when the rear deck/stair system was found to have structural issues, including sagging, which led to inspections and repairs costing $1,500. The building has multiple active violations from a 2008 routine inspection, including plumbing/electrical issues and various fire safety concerns such as improper fire proofing, combustible storage, and missing fire extinguishers.

The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including foundation repairs due to rot in 1985, water service upgrades in 2008, and recent issues with peeling paint in 2020. While there have been multiple fire alarm activations recorded, all incidents have been determined to be false alarms or system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent exterior maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 calls, primarily related to sidewalk conditions and graffiti, though many of these cases were resolved with no work needed. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and compliance issues, though some violations from 2008 remain open as of the most recent data available.

Risk rating

How 281-287 Rose 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
