The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 722-724 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 1909

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.

Built 1909
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 property at 722-724 Broadway is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building owned by Willie Wong and Lily Lee-wong, constructed in 1909 in the North Beach neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant incidents over its history, most notably a fire incident in 2005 that required repairs to the rear wall and ceiling, for which electrical work was also performed. The building's safety systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple fire safety violations and complaints between 2019 and 2024, including issues with alarm systems, extinguishers, and sleeping area requirements. More recently, in 2024, there were two fire safety violations related to alarm systems and extinguishers that were corrected by May 2024.

The property has also faced operational challenges, with a vacant storefront issue in 2018-2019 that resulted in violations under the vacant commercial storefront ordinance. Building improvements and modifications have been documented over the years, including attempts to legalize additional dwelling units and various remodels, with some permits being cancelled or completed, such as a 1998 project to remodel a long unit into two legal ones. Recent maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 calls, including issues with garbage and debris, mold, and various property maintenance matters. The building's fire incident history shows several instances of smoke-related events and false alarms, though no civilian injuries have been reported in these incidents.

Risk rating

How 722-724 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

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
64thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 130 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building age

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