Rent & eviction protection

Is 1700 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.

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 1959
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 1700 Page St property is a two-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Built in 1959 and currently owned by Btp 8-10 Hazel Llc, this building has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable challenges over the years. The most recent major update occurred in July 2023, when a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade was completed, including the installation of low-frequency horns in residential sleeping areas and outdoor strobes, costing approximately $30,000. The building has previously experienced serious incidents, most notably a significant fire in Unit 7 in 2011 that required extensive repairs across multiple units costing $130,000. Since then, substantial improvements have been made throughout the building, including the replacement of fire alarm panels (2012), a mandatory soft-story retrofit (2021), and various unit improvements such as window replacements, electrical panel upgrades, and plumbing renovations.

The property has faced some ongoing concerns that require attention. There are several active building violations from 2003 related to hot water heaters, fire escapes, and lead paint hazards that remain unresolved as of October 2023. Recent routine inspections (most recently in 2023) have been conducted, though their findings are not fully documented in the available data. The building's infrastructure has seen various improvements such as the removal of fuse panels in 2015, electrical panel relocations, and the installation of new bathrooms and heating systems in multiple units. Recent fire alarm violations were issued in November 2024, though these were abated relatively quickly. The property has also undergone multiple routine inspections, with some historical issues related to water damage and deck safety reported in the late 1990s, though these appear to have been resolved. While the building has experienced significant improvements in safety systems and general maintenance over the years, the persistence of certain historical violations suggests there are still some infrastructure elements requiring attention.

Risk rating

How 1700 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
9thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 529 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
