Rent & eviction protection

Is 1754 Larkin 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 1910
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1910
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

1754 Larkin Street is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, built in 1910 and currently owned by Patel Neil Kiran & Saloni G. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a complete re-roofing in September 2024 ($9,800) and a substantial fire alarm system upgrade in February 2023 ($16,800) to comply with current safety codes. The building has experienced some recurring boiler permit issues, with violations filed in May 2021 and August 2023 concerning an unpermitted boiler operation, though these were abated shortly after being issued. Notable renovations include Unit 3's conversion from tub to washer/dryer installation in 2020 ($8,000), window replacements in multiple units (Units 1 and 4) in 2017-2018, and various electrical upgrades including the installation of washer/dryer circuitry in 2020.

The property has a history of maintenance and compliance attention, though most recent activity has focused on safety upgrades. An independent investigation in July 2020 revealed concerns about an improperly installed AC unit on the second floor, which was subsequently addressed. Earlier violations from 2001 related to various building systems and security features were resolved, including issues with window frames, fire safety systems, and locks. The building's recent history suggests active management with prompt attention to maintenance and compliance matters, including regular updates to fire safety systems and addressing individual unit improvements. Parking enforcement records indicate occasional issues with driveway blocking, while street cleaning requests show typical urban maintenance needs being addressed promptly by city services.

Risk rating

How 1754 Larkin 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
30thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 788 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
