Rent & eviction protection

Is 1724-1730 Mason 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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1724-1730 Mason Street in North Beach, dating back to 1907, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its rear stairs and water damage, over the past few decades. Most recent building history includes a 2019 street space permit, and a 2015 routine safety inspection that revealed several compliance issues requiring attention, including the need for carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, and repairs to wood stairs. The building has undergone multiple stair repairs and replacements, with significant work done in 2015, 2006, 2004, and 1995 addressing dry rot and safety concerns. Water damage has been documented through various repairs, including bedroom area work in 2006 involving roof joists, siding, and flooring. A notable incident occurred in 2009 involving a precarious 40-foot clothesline structure that raised safety concerns and required removal by early 2010.

The building has faced various regulatory requirements and violations, including necessary fire safety improvements and structural maintenance. Historical records show multiple routine safety inspections across different years (1999, 2004, 2007, 2015) each revealing various maintenance and safety compliance issues that were subsequently addressed. Two planning records from the past indicate basement remodeling work, with one listed under developer Michael Alexander. The property has had minimal external issues, with only one 311 call recorded in 2018 regarding an abandoned vehicle, which was resolved when the vehicle was no longer present.

Risk rating

How 1724-1730 Mason 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
58thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 152 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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