Rent & eviction protection

Is 1827 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 1978
2 or more units

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 1978
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 multi-family residential building at 1827 Hayes Street in Park North, owned by the Lee Family Trust, was constructed in 1978 and is classified as a flats and duplex structure. The building's documented history shows limited major renovations, with two significant permits on record: a completed ground floor recreation room conversion in 1986 and an expired reroofing permit from 1995.

Recent incidents recorded in the 311 system paint a mixed picture of neighborhood conditions. The most recent interaction was a face covering compliance report in February 2021, which was accepted for tracking purposes. Earlier in 2020, there was an environmental health-related case that was transferred to the Homecare Residential Sites division of the SFDPH. The building experienced some external maintenance challenges between 2009 and 2019, with reports of graffiti on the commercial portion of the building (2009) and on a nearby pole (2019), both of which were resolved. Two sanitation-related incidents were recorded: a street cleaning case involving human or animal waste in 2013, which was completed, and a resolved case from 2013. While the building's permit and violation history is relatively minimal, these recent external reports suggest occasional maintenance and neighborhood upkeep issues in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1827 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
48thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 414 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
