Rent & eviction protection

Is 1478-1480 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 1905
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.

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 1478-1480 Page Street property is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Kristen Virmani. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including the installation of separate gas meters for three units in 2018, replacement of the boiler system in 2016, and resolution of a cross-connection issue in 2022. Between 2014-2016, there were multiple permits and inspections related to attic improvements, including a complaint in 2014 about unpermitted work that was subsequently addressed with sheetrock installation. The building's electrical system has received attention over the years, with significant work completed in 2005 including a complete rewiring of the first floor, though some permits from that period expired. A routine fire safety inspection in 2016 required the recharging of fire extinguishers, which was promptly addressed.

The property has experienced recurring issues with unpermitted renovations, particularly noted in complaints from 2007-2008, though most recent renovation work appears to have been properly permitted. In terms of tenant experience, there was a noise complaint in 2014 regarding after-hours work in the top unit. Recent 311 calls between 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk parking violations and garbage/debris concerns, though these are typical urban maintenance issues and not specific to the building's condition. The most recent building-related activity was a request for parking paint work in May 2024, which remains open as of October 2023. The building's permit and violation history suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of systems, with particular attention paid to resolving past compliance issues regarding permits and safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 1478-1480 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
46thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 314 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.
