Rent & eviction protection

Is 156-158 Beaver 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 1929
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1929
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, two-unit residential building at 156-158 Beaver Street in Corona Heights, owned by the Donald Holsten Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1929. Most recently, in late 2024, the property experienced fire damage requiring temporary power restoration work, though this appears to be an isolated incident and not indicative of ongoing safety concerns. Recent improvements include a bathroom remodel in 2022 ($13,000) and reroofing work completed in 2021 ($10,000), continuing a pattern of roof maintenance as evidenced by previous reroofing projects in 2002 and 1993. The building has undergone various safety-related improvements, including the installation of 5/8" gypsum fire separation material in 1995 to comply with housing requirements.

The property has maintained active compliance with building codes and safety standards, as shown by recent permits for bathroom remodeling and garage improvements. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including common area improvements such as garage door installations in 2006. While there have been occasional issues in the surrounding area as documented in 311 calls (such as illegal parking, debris, and flooding on the street) between 2019 and 2024, these external matters appear to be typical urban neighborhood challenges rather than building-specific problems. Two significant planning actions were approved: reclassifying the property from RH-2 to RH-3 district status and replacing an existing rear staircase and extending the landing area. The property's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep, though the recent fire incident and its associated power restoration work indicate a need for continued monitoring of electrical systems.

Risk rating

How 156-158 Beaver 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
56thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 153 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
