Rent & eviction protection

Is 1548 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

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 1548 Page Street, located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, has a documented history of significant safety and maintenance events, particularly relating to fire incidents. Most notably, the building experienced two major fire-related events, first in 2009 and then again in 2013, with the 2009 incident leading to substantial repairs including reconstruction of rear stairs, electrical system updates, and fire-related damage repairs costing $100,000. The 2013 incident involved attic fire repairs and further HVAC system updates. Following the 2009 fire, the building received multiple systems upgrades including a comprehensive electrical system overhaul with new panels and circuits, plumbing improvements including multiple bathroom and laundry installations, and the replacement of all furnaces.

More recent concerns include a 2020 fire violation regarding blocked exits/fire escapes that was subsequently abated, and an ongoing issue with potential parking violations on the property's approach area, with multiple MTA parking enforcement calls in late 2024 and early 2025. There is also a documented complaint from September 2019 regarding a vehicle obstructing the public right-of-way, though this violation was marked as not active. Historical records show the building underwent reroofing work in 2000, and all documented permits from previous years have been marked as complete, with the exception of a few expired permits in 2009 related to more extensive system installations. While the building has experienced several significant incidents requiring major repairs and upgrades, records indicate that most known safety issues have been addressed through proper permits and corrective actions.

Risk rating

How 1548 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
56thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 256 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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