Rent & eviction protection

Is 35 Hill 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.

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.

Just-cause eviction

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-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 35 Hill Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood is owned by the Zalka Ancely Revocable Living Trust and was constructed in 1970. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a complete reroofing in 1995 and again in 2016, the latter costing $21,800, as well as a bathroom renovation in Unit B in 2016 involving the removal and replacement of tile surround with an acrylic tub surround valued at $10,000.

The property has had three routine housing inspections over the years, with the most recent occurring in 2017. This inspection revealed a need for an affidavit to be provided, though this violation was subsequently abated by May 2, 2017. Earlier inspections in 2004 and 2010 resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection, though the 2004 inspection did identify a fire safety issue regarding egress obstruction that required correction before being abated in October 2004. While the building has experienced various routine inspections and some violations in the past, all issues appear to have been resolved, and there have been no recurring or recent violations that would significantly impact resident safety or comfort. The most recent major building maintenance, from 2016, represents the most current investment in the property's upkeep, which is now nearing the end of its expected lifecycle for some components, considering typical residential maintenance schedules.

Risk rating

How 35 Hill 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
51stpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 626 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
