Rent & eviction protection

Is 759-777 Jackson 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 759-777 Jackson Street building is a 3-story, 16-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1907 and currently owned by the Lee Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements, most notably completing mandatory soft-story retrofitting in 2019, which included both residential and commercial components with costs of $93,000 and $63,000 respectively. Recent safety system upgrades include a 2022 replacement of fire alarm components (including smoke detectors and pull stations) at a cost of $27,670, and the installation of 14 security cameras in 2021. However, there are some ongoing safety concerns, as indicated by a December 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements, and a 2021 sprinkler/standpipe system violation that was marked as issued but may have been corrected by January 2022.

The building has experienced various maintenance and habitability issues over its history, including multiple fire safety violations between 2017-2023, routine inspections revealing various code compliance issues, and several complaints regarding hot water availability in 2002-2003. Recent years have seen numerous311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the street or sidewalk, with multiple reports during late 2024. The property has maintained active compliance with major safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of the soft-story retrofit program (designated as Tier 4) and recent fire safety system upgrades, though some violations remain open as of 2023. Regular improvements have been made to commercial spaces within the building, including a 2021 conversion of a travel agency/office to a cafe, and plumbing work in 2022 to add an ADA restroom and various sinks.

Risk rating

How 759-777 Jackson 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
14thpercentile

Out of 145 buildings in this neighborhood, 125 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.
