Rent & eviction protection

Is 722-726 Vallejo 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.

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-unit residential building at 722-726 Vallejo St in North Beach, constructed in 1908 and currently managed by the Calvin T Chew Living Trust, has a significant history of maintenance and safety concerns spanning several decades. Most recently, in 2024, there was a sleeping area requirement violation issued in March and a subsequent alarm systems complaint in November, though the latter was found to be without merit. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, including a 2020 hoarding violation, blocked exits in 2012, and multiple fire extinguisher-related problems between 2012 and 2018, with violations often requiring correction of "no permit" issues. In 2013, the building underwent mandatory removal of unauthorized roof deck and penthouse structures, previously constructed without permits, following multiple complaints about unsafe construction practices. Several building permits have been filed over the years, including a metal gate installation at the main entrance in 2016 (currently in unresolved status), and there have been various routine safety inspections indicating ongoing maintenance needs.

The property has also been the subject of numerous 311 calls between 2024-2024, primarily related to street conditions and vehicle issues, suggesting some ongoing concerns about the immediate surroundings. Historical records show a pattern of addressing maintenance issues, including stair repairs in 2005 and various roof-related work, with a reroofing project completed in 1993. While many violations and complaints have been resolved, including a significant period of remediation in 2015 that addressed multiple fire safety concerns, the building continues to experience periodic regulatory attention, particularly regarding fire safety compliance. The most recent documented fire violations in 2024 suggest that while most historical issues have been addressed, some compliance challenges persist.

Risk rating

How 722-726 Vallejo 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
71stpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 105 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.

Building age

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

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.
