Rent & eviction protection

Is 716-720 Broadway 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 1907

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 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 three-story, three-unit building at 716-720 Broadway in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, owned by Willie Wong, has experienced some concerning patterns in recent months (June-July 2026). The property, dating back to 1907, has generated an unusually high volume of 311 service requests, totaling 548 over a seven-year period, with most recent activity suggesting potential sanitation and safety concerns. Between June 8 and July 29, 2026, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues, including loose garbage, bagged waste, and abandoned furniture, with several cases remaining unresolved as of the latest records. Additionally, there have been two separate reports of sidewalk blockages caused by unlicensed scooters, one of which was resolved while another remains open.

Looking at the broader seven-year history of the building, there have been four fire incidents recorded, though the specifics of these events are not detailed in the available data. The building has also experienced some regulatory scrutiny, with one Department of Building Inspection complaint, two notices of violation, and one director hearing on file during the same period. While some historical context would suggest typical maintenance and safety monitoring for such an older building, the recent cluster of sanitation-related service requests stands out as a significant pattern that may impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 716-720 Broadway'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
49th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 185 are predicted to be safer.
