Rent & eviction protection

Is 1717-1721 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.

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 1914
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 multi-family residential building at 1717-1721 Stockton Street in North Beach, owned by Calvin Sue Ying & Amy E Gee, is a 4-unit structure built in 1914. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent active building complaint dating from September 2013 noting multiple concerns including animal infestations, rotting back stairs, broken windows, and various maintenance issues. Previous significant violations from 2004-2005 included problems with handrails, wood stairs, fire escape obstructions, gas meter safety requirements, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors, many of which were addressed through multiple permits and repairs costing several thousand dollars. The building underwent roof work in 2005 (cost: $5,850) and dry rot repairs to the rear staircase and siding in 2014 (cost: $4,500), though some permits from this period are marked as expired.

The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, electrical infrastructure, and structural elements over the years, with notable problems including electrical leaks during rain, water damage, and deteriorating stairs. A recent complaint was filed in April 2024 and resolved by July 2024, though the specific nature of this complaint was not detailed in the records. The building has had multiple routine inspections and follow-up actions between 2004 and 2014, and there has been documented concerns about short-term rental violations as recently as 2023. While many historical violations have been addressed, the presence of ongoing maintenance issues and the relatively high frequency of repairs and violations in the building's history suggest ongoing challenges with property maintenance and safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 1717-1721 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
35thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 235 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI Complaint Jun 16
This building has peeling paint on the stockton street facade. more importantly it has peeling paint on the rear and all the rear stairs are peeling adjacent to a church preschool yard, exposing the harm to the students. school is closed for summer, so this would be a good time for the owners to repair the damage and maintain the building. this is a lead abatement health issue for young children.
