Rent & eviction protection

Is 1320 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 1900
2 or more units
8 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1900
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 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1320 Page Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Thomas E & Kim H Chua Revoc Tr, has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years. The most substantial work included a garage conversion to a dwelling unit in 2016-2018, which involved a $150,000 fire sprinkler system installation for the entire ground floor ($10,000 specifically for the new ADU), a 200-amp electrical service upgrade, and mandatory soft-story retrofit work in compliance with San Francisco building codes, including the addition of plywood shear walls. The building's safety systems were notably enhanced with a $16,000 fire alarm system installation in 2018, followed by upgrades to ensure compliance with current fire safety standards, including intelligent fire alarm control, water flow monitoring, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The property has a history of maintenance and safety improvements, including a main sewer lateral replacement in 2009 and various plumbing upgrades. While there were several building violations recorded in 2003 related to security, fire safety, and sanitation (which were all abated by December 2016), the most concerning issues occurred during the 2018 renovation period, when multiple complaints were filed regarding construction work practices, including concerns about unsecured portable toilets, improperly handled plumbing lines, and construction debris management. These complaints were addressed within a week (March 27, 2018). The building's soft-story retrofit was completed successfully as a Tier 3 property, and a 2022 complaint regarding a missing side sewer vent cover was resolved. The property had some historical issues that have since been corrected, including unauthorized window replacements in 2009 and a heating system problem with mold concerns in 2006-2007.

Risk rating

How 1320 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
29thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 413 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month risk forecast
Moderate failure risk 41%
