Rent & eviction protection

Is 150-152 Hartford 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 1885
2 or more units

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 1885
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 two-unit residential building at 150-152 Hartford Street, constructed in 1885, has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades in recent years. The most substantial work occurred between 2019-2021, including the addition of a new 1,236 sq ft ground floor apartment (valued at $300,000) containing three bedrooms and two bathrooms, followed by comprehensive remodels of the existing units featuring relocated kitchens and bathrooms, added bathrooms, and window modifications. The property underwent major safety improvements with the installation of a new fire sprinkler system ($18,125) for the ground floor ADU in 2020, followed by a fire alarm system installation in 2021 that included monitoring features. The building's infrastructure was thoroughly updated, including a new 300A electrical service installation for three units and complete electrical rewiring of both residential units, with all work completed in accordance with modern safety standards.

The property has maintained regular upkeep of essential systems, including furnace installations and comprehensive plumbing work to support modern amenities throughout both units. While the building's renovation and safety upgrade work has generally been completed successfully, there was one building complaint filed in June 2021 regarding the installation of new windows lacking the required "ogee" detail per San Francisco's historic replacement window code. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024, though not directly related to the building's condition, indicate ongoing street maintenance and environmental challenges in the immediate vicinity, including reports of debris, tree damage, and hazardous materials on the street, with the most recent concerns being about a dead tree (reported December 2024). These external factors, while not directly affecting the building's structure or systems, do impact the overall neighborhood environment.

Risk rating

How 150-152 Hartford 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
96thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 51 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
