Rent & eviction protection

Is 2027-2031 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 1910

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 2027-2031 Oak Street, owned by Golden Properties LLC, consists of 6 units and was constructed in 1910 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced numerous compliance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $45,000, following a violation notice in 2017 regarding non-compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Between 2013-2014, multiple unit renovations were performed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units A and B, along with plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling approximately $32,000. The building's systems were modernized between 2003-2004 with the installation of a fire alarm system, an underground electrical service upgrade, and comprehensive electrical improvements including new wiring for multiple living spaces.

Historical issues include several fire safety violations in 2017 that were resolved through various citations related to combustible storage, fire alarm systems, carbon monoxide alarms, and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were abated by April 2018. The building experienced notable roof-related problems in early 2008, with complaints about both roof damage and leaks affecting tenant units. Earlier compliance issues from 2006 involved unauthorized work on rear stairs and siding, though these were eventually addressed. A recent (2023) enforcement action regarding short-term rentals was initiated but is noted as closed-cancelled, with potential implications for the property regarding building permits and administrative penalties. The property has also seen regular maintenance responses as evidenced by recent 311 calls in 2022-2024, primarily related to street cleaning and graffiti removal near the building.

Risk rating

How 2027-2031 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 221 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
