Rent & eviction protection

Is 2015-2019 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 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.

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 property at 2015-2019 Oak Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Built in 1900, the building experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in 2017-2018, including multiple heating system failures, interior surface problems, and security concerns. A series of violations was documented in April 2017, focusing on interior maintenance, security requirements, and fire safety, though these were all abated by October 2017. The heating system received considerable attention during this period, with several permits showing work on the furnace and ductwork, though complaints about heater functionality persisted into early 2018. Earlier maintenance history includes rear stair repairs in 2003 and various HVAC system upgrades in 2010.

More recent history shows minor street-level issues, with several 311 calls in 2022-2023 regarding general cleaning, sidewalk maintenance, and seasonal Christmas tree pickup. Fire department records indicate three system-related incidents (two alarm activations and one smoke detector activation) between 2020-2022, none resulting in injuries or actual fires. The most recent documented issues involve routine neighborhood maintenance matters, suggesting a period of relative stability since the substantial work completed in 2017-2018. The building's documented history reflects typical challenges for a century-old structure, though most significant violations and repairs were addressed promptly when they arose.

Risk rating

How 2015-2019 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
58thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 244 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.

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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
