Rent & eviction protection

Is 773-777 Pine 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 1909

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 773-777 Pine Street, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Tony H Lee & Sunny Yousun, contains four units and has undergone significant renovations in recent years. In 2013, the property underwent substantial upgrades including a comprehensive $90,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in all units, electrical rewiring, installation of four central heaters, and a complete copper repipe of all water systems. A subsequent complaint in June 2013 regarding unpermitted construction work was addressed and resolved by April 2014. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2016 which identified several violations including fire safety and security issues, though these were promptly addressed and marked as not active by June 2016.

The property has maintained regular upkeep since the major renovations, with improvements including new windows for the front facade in August 2013 and various street space permits issued between 2013 and 2014. Recent records from 2022-2024 show recurring issues with street cleaning and debris removal outside the building, with the most recent complaint being for excessive noise from October 2024. Several abandoned furniture cases and general cleaning requests have been filed through 311 services, indicating ongoing maintenance needs for the exterior areas around the building. While the building's major systems were thoroughly updated in 2013, recent maintenance patterns suggest continued attention is required for both interior and exterior upkeep, particularly regarding waste management and noise control in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 773-777 Pine 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
96thpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 18 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 age

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
