Rent & eviction protection

Is 727-731 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.

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 727-731 Jackson Street property is a 3-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Financial District North, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by 727 Investments The. The building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work in recent years, with the most critical being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023 to comply with SFFC requirements, including the installation of new communication systems, power supplies, and safety features. Major structural work is underway, including a $100,000 project for new sidewalk basement roof slab and retaining walls initiated in 2024. The property has seen regular maintenance and modernization efforts, such as the installation of a new heat pump system for the ground floor in 2023, electrical system upgrades including a new 400-amp main box in 2024, and accessibility improvements completed in 2021.

The building's recent history includes some maintenance challenges that have been addressed promptly. These include the removal of an unauthorized roof deck in 2022 following a Notice of Violation from 2011, and various fire safety and maintenance issues identified during routine inspections in 2006 and 2011, all of which were successfully abated. The property has experienced minimal emergency incidents, with only one recorded trash fire in 2015 that was contained with no civilian injuries. Recent property management actions include the addition of a new retail coffee shop in 2023 and preparations for an awning installation in 2024. While there have been some external maintenance issues reported via 311 calls, such as graffiti and sidewalk concerns, most have been promptly addressed, with the exception of a recent open graffiti case from November 2023 and a shared spaces violation from July 2023 that remains unresolved as of the last report. The building's current permits indicate ongoing investment in property improvements and compliance with modern safety standards.

Risk rating

How 727-731 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

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
18th percentile

Out of 145 buildings in this neighborhood, 119 are predicted to be safer.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 12.7%
Moderate concern 41.9%
Severe concern 45.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
