Rent & eviction protection

Is 1425 Taylor 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.

Built 1929
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 1425 Taylor Street building is a 6-story, 42-unit multi-family residential property in Nob Hill, built in 1929 and currently owned by Lees Taylor Street Apts LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with multiple units receiving comprehensive updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades, and appliance installations. Between 2021 and 2023, units 101, 102, 203, 207, 502, and 605 have all received improvements totaling approximately $150,000 in renovations. A major fire alarm system upgrade was completed in 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an upgraded fire panel.

Of particular concern are recent issues with the building's elevator system, which has experienced multiple outages in late 2023, affecting all residents and particularly impacting elderly and disabled tenants. Complaints filed between October and November 2023 documented extended periods without elevator service, and a complaint in November 2023 alleged unauthorized construction work in various units. The building has a history of fire safety system maintenance requirements, with multiple fire alarm and sprinkler system complaints recorded between 2005 and 2018, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit." Parking enforcement has been a recurring issue in the vicinity of the building, with numerous complaints about vehicles parking on sidewalks documented in late 2023.

Risk rating

How 1425 Taylor 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
0thpercentile

Out of 1125 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.
