Rent & eviction protection

Is 300 Taraval 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 1941
2 or more units

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.

Built 1941
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 300 Taraval Street is a single-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1941, currently owned by Maria E Brooks. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, with major improvements completed in mid-2022 including a full bathroom and kitchen remodel, electrical upgrades (including recessed lighting installation), and the replacement of street-facing windows with aluminum clad versions, totaling approximately $45,000 in improvements. However, during the bathroom and kitchen renovation period, there was one building complaint filed in July 2022 regarding concerns about construction impacting neighboring properties and early morning work hours, though this complaint was marked as not active by November 2022.

The property's historical maintenance record shows attention to basic upkeep, including reroofing work completed in 1991. More recently, the surrounding area has experienced several quality of life challenges as documented through 311 calls in 2023-2024, including reports of human/animal waste, an encampment cleanup, and debris removal needs near the property, though these issues relate to the street environment rather than the building itself. Two previous planning applications regarding potential conversion of residential space to commercial use on the second floor were submitted (by Frank & Kathleen O'Keeffe and later by the current owner) but were either disapproved or marked as closed, suggesting this conversion did not proceed.

Risk rating

How 300 Taraval 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
46thpercentile

Out of 32 buildings in this neighborhood, 17 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
