Rent & eviction protection

Is 39-41 Hemway Ter 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 1922

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.

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 residential building at 39-41 Hemway Terrace in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922, currently owned by Henriette S. Kildani. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, with the most notable being a complete electrical service upgrade to 200 amps in December 2022, representing the most recent major upgrade to the property. Previous maintenance records show two roofing projects - one completed in 1989 and another permitted in 1997, though the latter's permit has since expired. A garage door opener installation was also permitted in 2003, but this permit has expired as well.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in recent years, with three documented cases of driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024, all of which were addressed through citations. A noise complaint from July 2024 remains open as of the latest records. The building has undergone various inspections and maintenance checks over the years, including a 2014 case of graffiti (which was promptly resolved) and a 2017 hazardous materials inspection that was determined to have no merit. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues such as sidewalk cleaning and street light concerns, with the most recent 311 calls primarily relating to parking violations. While the building's major systems have received necessary upgrades, the age of some permits (dating back to 1989 and 1997) suggests continued attention to record-keeping and permit renewals may be needed.

Risk rating

How 39-41 Hemway Ter'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
42ndpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 301 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
