Rent & eviction protection

Is 1038 Page 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 1964
2 or more units
8 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1964
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-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1038 Page Street in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2021, a comprehensive fire safety system upgrade was completed at a cost of $29,000, including the installation of new smoke detectors, pull stations, and a radio communicator, along with the replacement of the fire sprinkler backflow device. The building received a new fire alarm system in January 2021, following previous fire safety-related complaints in 2013, 2015, and 2021, all of which were marked as "Condition Corrected."

The property has undergone several substantial maintenance work, including a complete sewer and street trap replacement in 2014, and historical records show earlier improvements such as reroofing in 1997 and various interior renovations in 2000. Recent issues have included a complaint in 2024 regarding duct-taped windows that was resolved by May 2024. The building has experienced periodic maintenance requirements and violations, particularly in the year 2000 when multiple issues were addressed, including electrical outlet repairs and window latch maintenance, all of which were abated by February 2001. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as graffiti, sewer vent concerns, and sidewalk cleaning, rather than building-specific problems. The property appears to be actively maintained, with prompt attention given to both safety systems and general upkeep, as evidenced by the completion of multiple recent permits and resolution of various complaints.

Risk rating

How 1038 Page 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
30thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 407 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
