Rent & eviction protection

Is 734-740 Green 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 1907
2 or more units

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 1907
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 Green Street Trust-owned property at 734-740 Green Street is a three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, located in North Beach. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly focused on safety and modernization, including the addition of three accessory dwelling units (ADUs), comprehensive fire safety upgrades, and unit renovations. In 2018-2019, major work included the installation of a new NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system throughout the building ($26,000), fire alarm system upgrades to comply with current codes ($26,000), and seismic retrofit work. The property has also seen recent unit improvements, including the conversion of storage space to ADUs in 2019 ($120,000), window replacements with sliding glass doors, and additional fire safety enhancements in 2021.

The building has had several maintenance and safety-related incidents requiring attention between 2000 and 2005, including security and sanitation issues, but all these violations have been resolved and marked as not active. More recent complaints have centered around construction impacts, with a December 2023 complaint about after-hours construction noise, and earlier complaints in 2018-2019 regarding dust, noise, and trash management. A tenant buyout was recorded in December 2017 for $285,000, affecting one tenant. The most current building permits indicate ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading fire safety systems, with recent work completed on sprinkler head additions and window modifications.

Risk rating

How 734-740 Green 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
6thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 340 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
