Rent & eviction protection

Is 65-67 Laussat 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 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 65-67 Laussat Street, located in Hayes Valley, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Holmes Saranah. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably the conversion of the basement into a legalized accessory dwelling unit (ADU) completed in late 2022, which cost approximately $148,000. This renovation was accompanied by various electrical upgrades, including a 200-amp service upgrade and fire warning system installation in December 2024, along with the addition of three mini-splits for climate control in early 2024.

The property has a documented history of both maintenance and violations, with several notable issues addressed since 2003. These include multiple repairs to electrical systems, plumbing upgrades, and building maintenance work such as roofing (2016) and siding replacement (2022). A series of violations were recorded in 2003 related to various building systems, including heating, electrical, and plumbing, but were all resolved by April 2003. More recent complaints include a 2022 issue regarding possible asbestos tiles (resolved) and a 2010 report of various maintenance problems including mold and window issues (resolved). The building has also seen infrastructure improvements, such as the installation of new utilities and modernization of services, with multiple plumbing and electrical permits issued in 2024. Environmental concerns, such as sidewalk graffiti and reports of waste, have been addressed through municipal services, though these are typical urban maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 65-67 Laussat 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.
