Rent & eviction protection

Is 65 Carmelita 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 1899

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1899
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 Carmelita St is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by the Jeffrey W Haas Trust Agreement. The building's maintenance history includes several significant upgrades, with the most recent being an authorized window and door replacement project valued at $25,540 initiated in January 2024, featuring new Marvin wood/clad windows and a rear door. Earlier improvements included substantial seismic upgrades in 2002 ($30,000) that involved structural modifications including wall removals and upper floor resupporting, and a comprehensive kitchen renovation in 2000 ($40,000) that included cabinet replacement and new appliances.

Recent maintenance activities have raised some concerns, particularly regarding lead paint handling during exterior painting work reported in October 2024. The building has experienced typical urban challenges in recent years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022-2024, primarily relating to parking issues (including multiple reports of driveway blocking and illegal parking) and occasional graffiti incidents that required municipal intervention. The property is located in the Duboce Park Landmark District, which provides certain preservation protections, though recent complaints about paint work suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges. The only recorded fire-related incident was for smoke or odor removal, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 65 Carmelita 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
59thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 421 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
