Rent & eviction protection

Is 75 Hancock 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 1977
2 or more units

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

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 1977
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

75 Hancock Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1977 and currently owned by the Maria R Canizales Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being a comprehensive window replacement project in 2020 that installed 18 fiberglass windows at a cost of $25,000 in apartments #1 and #3. In 2013, a substantial renovation of unit #3 was completed, including a full remodel of the kitchen and two bathrooms with new fixtures, cabinets, tiles, drywall, counters, and appliances, supported by plumbing and electrical permits totaling approximately $50,000 for the kitchen and bathroom upgrades, plus additional work for a new gas fireplace installation. The building also received a new roof in 2013, with the permit issued for$9,000 worth of work.

The property's maintenance record shows generally responsible upkeep, though there was one fire safety violation noted in 2001 regarding an egress obstruction, which was promptly addressed within two weeks of being filed. Two routine apartment house inspections in 2001 and 2007 found no ongoing issues. The surrounding area has experienced occasional infrastructure issues, including a sewage backup incident in December 2018 that affected the public sidewalk area and was promptly addressed. The most recent concerns have been related to street cleanliness, with three reported incidents of waste (human/animal) and one case of loose garbage in the vicinity between 2018 and 2022, all of which were resolved by city services. While these exterior issues reflect the neighborhood's urban environment, they have been addressed through appropriate municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 75 Hancock 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
