Rent & eviction protection

Is 1529-1531 Oak 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 1922

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 1922
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 Victoria Sung Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, originally constructed in 1922. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past 20 years, with the most recent being a $20,000 reroofing project completed in 2020. Notable structural and safety enhancements include voluntary seismic upgrades completed in 2014, bathroom remodeling with associated electrical work in the same year, window replacements in 2013, and lightwell stairway replacement in 2008. The building's infrastructure has been actively maintained, with electrical system improvements including the addition of a third meter for common areas in 2005 and an underground conversion in 2004.

The property has experienced some recent exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by three 311 calls between December 2024 and October 2024 regarding graffiti and garbage/debris on or near the property. There have been multiple reports of illegal parking in the vicinity between 2021 and 2024, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns. A false fire alarm was recorded in the building's history, but no civilian injuries were reported. The building's permit history and 311 calls demonstrate regular upkeep and response to maintenance needs, though the recent exterior issues may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1529-1531 Oak 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
93rdpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 41 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
