Rent & eviction protection

Is 2 Fair Oaks 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

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.

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, four-unit building at 2 Fair Oaks St, owned by Daniel Uy & Ada Yuens, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1929. Most significantly, there are recurring issues regarding boiler permit violations, with two documented violations in 2022 and 2021 related to the same boiler (serial no 61-89420-1097), though these are no longer active. The building has undergone some recent improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Unit #3 (completed in 2024) and a window replacement project (issued in 2026), with total construction costs exceeding $104,000 in the past seven years.

The property has had various maintenance and safety-related incidents over the past few years, including a fire incident in July 2020 (classified as a false alarm with no injuries or fatalities) and multiple 311 service requests. Recent service requests from 2023-2026 have addressed various issues including street cleaning, hazardous materials, graffiti, and parking violations. A notable spike in service requests occurred in 2023-2024, with multiple parking enforcement and sidewalk-related issues being reported. While most of these complaints have been resolved, one graffiti incident from March 2023 received special mention as part of a backlog created during the COVID pandemic's enforcement suspension period. The building has maintained basic regulatory compliance, with no active violations currently on record, though the boiler permit issues in previous years suggest some challenges with maintenance compliance during that period.

Risk rating

How 2 Fair Oaks 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
12thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1125 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
