Rent & eviction protection

Is 1744 Hayes 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.

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 1913
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 1744 Hayes Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Park North, built in 1913 and currently owned by the Bailey Family Trust. The building's permit history shows several street space permits issued between October 2014 and March 2015, with an illegal construction complaint filed in March 2015 regarding expired scaffolding and parking signs that had been in place continuously since late 2014, though this complaint is listed as not active. The building underwent reroofing work in 1989, which was completed successfully.

Recent activity around the property has primarily consisted of parking-related issues, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks between 2021 and 2023, resulting in several citations being issued to offending vehicles. There were three instances of abandoned property removal requests (including a Christmas tree) in 2023. The only fire-related incident on record was a "good intent" call with no injuries reported, and there was one combustible materials complaint in February 2017 that was determined to have no merit. The property's maintenance history appears relatively stable, with no significant safety issues or major repairs noted in recent years beyond the historical reroofing work from 1989.

Risk rating

How 1744 Hayes 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
65thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 279 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
