Haight Ashbury, SF 94117 1233038 6 units · 3 fl · 1904

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1429 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 1904
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1904
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 Lydia Hwang Trust-owned 6-unit apartment building at 1429 Page St, Haight Ashbury, is a 3-story, 1904 multi-family residential structure that has undergone significant safety improvements over the past several years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. In 2022-2023, the building received substantial fire safety upgrades, including the replacement of smoke detectors, pull stations, and the installation of new monitoring systems, with work costing approximately $10,000. Between 2016-2017, the property addressed multiple violations related to fire safety and maintenance, including repairing fire proofing, maintaining fire escape ladders, and addressing water damage issues, all of which were successfully abated.

The building's history shows recurring issues with fire safety systems and water damage, though recent improvements suggest these problems have been addressed. Multiple false alarms and detector malfunctions have been recorded through the fire incident responses, indicating some ongoing challenges with the alarm system, though the recent installation of new fire safety equipment may have resolved this. The property has experienced some parking-related challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding driveway access, particularly in 2024, and historical complaints about garage conversion issues from 1994. Additionally, there have been recent cleaning and maintenance requests related to sidewalk graffiti and general upkeep. The most recent building permit activity shows continued maintenance and upgrading of safety systems, including a street space permit issued in 2007 and various interior improvements.

Risk rating

How 1429 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
36thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 372 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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