Rent & eviction protection

Is 1656-1660 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 1905

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 1905
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 three-unit residential building at 1656-1660 Hayes Street in Park North, owned by Louise B Doyle Tr, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1905. The property has undergone several significant renovations and safety upgrades, with the most recent major work being a voluntary seismic upgrade of the ground floor level completed in 2018 at a cost of $40,000. In 2021, the building received an electrical system upgrade including the installation of a 240v 50a dedicated circuit for a Rivian wall charger in the garage and replacement of the 125a sub panel. The building experienced a carbon monoxide incident, though thankfully no civilian injuries were reported. Multiple 311 calls have been logged for the property, with the most recent being for parking issues in 2024, though none of these incidents appear to have directly impacted the building's safety or functionality. The property has seen substantial improvements over the years, including bathroom additions, kitchen and bath remodels, and window installations between 1984 and 2018. While recent reports have noted issues with graffiti (2022-2024) and some sidewalk/curb concerns, these were primarily external to the building. A missing side sewer vent cover issue reported in August 2022 remains open as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 1656-1660 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
52ndpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 383 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
