Rent & eviction protection

Is 128 Beaumont Ave 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 1946
2 or more units

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 1946
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 two-unit multi-family residential building at 128 Beaumont Ave in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Frank & Cheh Hsu, was constructed in 1946 and has had several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in August 2024, substantial renovations were initiated on the second floor including kitchen upgrades (cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances), bathroom remodeling, and the addition of a powder room and full bathroom, with an estimated cost of $76,000. Prior notable improvements include the replacement of an exterior staircase due to dry rot in 2016 (with new foundation work), an electrical update for rear stair illumination with motion sensor fixtures in 2016, and significant plumbing work in 2021 involving the installation of a new side sewer lateral from the foundation to the city main. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including reroofing projects completed in 1992 and 2009, and a gas line extension in 2012.

The property has had a series of abandoned vehicle reports in the vicinity between 2014 and 2023, though these appear to be unrelated to the building's condition or management. There were also two service requests documented through 311 calls - one in 2018 that was resolved with no issues found during inspection, and another in 2020 that was transferred to the Department of Public Health. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the owners, with no documented safety violations or major structural issues in recent years. The most recent permits indicate ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure and amenities, particularly focused on improving the second floor facilities.

Risk rating

How 128 Beaumont Ave'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
