Rent & eviction protection

Is 964 Hampshire 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 1900

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.

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 964 Hampshire Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood has experienced several significant events over recent years. Built in 1900, this two-story flats and duplex structure, currently owned by Michelle Snyder, underwent notable renovation work in 2019, including bathroom improvements with tile replacement and plumbing updates, though this work triggered multiple building complaints regarding unpermitted construction activities. The complaints, particularly from October 2019 and June 2020, highlighted issues with loud construction noise, including hammering and sawing.

More recently, in 2024, a hoarding situation was reported and subsequently resolved by June 2024. The property has also experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, as evidenced by several 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding general cleaning and garbage concerns. There have been multiple instances of abandoned furniture and loose garbage on the street in recent years. Historical concerns include a 1994 complaint about overcrowded units and garbage disposal issues. The building's permitted work history shows some completed updates, including bathroom rewiring and plumbing modifications, though not all permits appear to have been properly closed. A significant tenant buyout occurred in September 2019, involving three tenants and totaling $20,000. Parking violations around the property have been documented in 2021, indicating ongoing concerns with street management in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 964 Hampshire 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
28thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1714 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
