Rent & eviction protection

Is 1429 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 before 1979
Built 1900

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1429 Hayes St in the Park North neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Beulah L Lewis Living Trust. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most recent significant complaint regarding a defective or missing fresh air inlet and house trap requirements being filed in April 2019, which was marked as "Not Active" in October 2024. A cluster of violations in June 2011 raised concerns about environmental safety, including possible lead-based paint issues, though these were all officially abated by November 2011. Those 2011 violations also included problems with overgrown vegetation in the backyard and concerns about paint scraping without proper containment during work on the outer wall facing Broderick Street.

The building's maintenance history shows some plumbing work, including the installation of a 40-gallon water heater in February 2016, though this permit has since expired. More recently, in March 2022, there was a 311 call regarding loose garbage that was investigated but nothing was found, and in August 2018, there was a report of offensive graffiti on a pole that was addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew. While the property has had multiple compliance issues in the past, it's worth noting that all officially recorded building violations have been marked as not active, with the most recent complaints showing resolution dates.

Risk rating

How 1429 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
68thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 255 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
