Rent & eviction protection

Is 1725 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 1963
2 or more units
20 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

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

1725 Taylor Street is a 20-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Aldema Inv Corp Of Florida. The property has undergone numerous renovations over the years, with the most recent significant work in 2024 including a substantial $55,000 renovation of Unit 1A featuring new kitchen and bathroom fixtures, tiles, and electrical work. Prior building improvements include a completed reroofing project ($49,700) in 2024, several unit renovations in 2009-2010 (Units 3C, 3D, 5C, and 5D), and notable infrastructure upgrades including a new domestic hot water boiler installation and floor sink in 2020. The building has faced several maintenance and safety challenges, particularly in 2005 with multiple violations related to egress, lighting, and water issues in the parking garage, though these were marked as abated by July 2005. More recently, the building has experienced recurring fire safety system violations in 2023-2024, including open violations for sleeping area requirements and multiple sprinkler system compliance issues as of December 2023. The property has undergone routine safety inspections in 2010 and 2016, and there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, including illegal parking incidents and graffiti, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updating of individual units over time, with multiple apartments receiving kitchen and bathroom renovations, though some permits from the 2008-2009 period are noted as expired or cancelled. Infrastructure improvements have included the installation of new fire sprinklers in 2008, though the property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, as evidenced by multiple fire complaints and violations over the years, most recently in December 2023. The building's history includes several concerning incidents between 2007-2010, including sewage backups in the elevator shaft, water leaks, and safety inspection findings related to egress lighting and security, though these issues appear to have been addressed according to available records. Recent building permits and improvements indicate ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property, though the current open fire safety violations suggest attention is still required in this area.

Risk rating

How 1725 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1099 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
