Rent & eviction protection

Is 1723-1727 Stockton 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 1900

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 1900
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 property at 1723-1727 Stockton Street is a 3-story, multi-family residential building containing 6 units, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Benjamin A Fong Lvg Tr. The building has been undergoing significant renovation work since early 2023, which has resulted in multiple code enforcement issues. The most critical current violation, filed in April 2023 and still active, involves unauthorized construction work beyond approved permits in both the front and rear buildings, including interior demolition, rough framing, window replacements, and electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. The property has received multiple permits in 2024 aimed at addressing these violations, including substantial interior renovations, window replacements, and electrical rewiring of units 1725A, 1727A, and 1727B.

Recent concerns have emerged regarding potential lead hazards, as evidenced by a June 2024 complaint about peeling lead-based paint near a preschool play area, though this issue was marked as not active by September 2024. The building has a history of permit compliance issues, with past violations recorded in 2006 for unauthorized stair replacement work, and more recently in 2023-2024 for various construction activities. Multiple permits have been filed in 2024 for plumbing and electrical work, including new kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and hydronic heating systems in several units. The property is also undergoing an approved project to enclose rear porches on the second and third levels of the rear building, which requires a rear yard variance due to the structure's existing noncompliance with rear yard requirements.

Risk rating

How 1723-1727 Stockton 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
14thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 311 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
