Rent & eviction protection

Is 1774-1776 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.

Built 1913

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 two-unit residential building at 1774-1776 Hayes Street in the Park North neighborhood, owned by the Charles R Sterck Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1913. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent work involving window upgrades in both 2014 and 2018, where aluminum windows were replaced with energy-efficient wood windows on the building's front facade. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2000-2001 when major alterations and additions were completed, including horizontal extensions and remodeling of the second and third floors, with a combined cost of approximately $125,000.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, though there have been some quality-of-life issues in the vicinity. Recent events include graffiti incidents in 2023 (most recently) and 2017, as well as reports of human or animal waste on nearby sidewalks in January 2022. The most recent infrastructure-related complaint was a blocked driveway incident in December 2024, which was promptly addressed by parking enforcement. A notable and resolved issue regarding debris in the rear yard was documented in the planning records, though there are no current open violations or complaints on file. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly regarding window replacements and structural improvements, though occasional neighborhood cleanliness issues have been documented through 311 calls.

Risk rating

How 1774-1776 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
64thpercentile
