Rent & eviction protection

Is 710-722 Taylor 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 1913
2 or more units

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 1913
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 four-story multi-family residential building at 710-722 Taylor Street in Union Square, owned by Crispen Dean M, was built in 1913 and contains 7 units. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over the years, with the most recent major work being the removal of a disabled steam boiler and backflow preventer in April 2021. Notably, there have been recurring issues with the boiler permit compliance, with multiple violations recorded between 2011 and 2021 regarding unpermitted boiler operations, though these violations were ultimately abated. The building underwent important seismic retrofit work in 2002 costing $115,000, followed by a complete reroofing in 2002 ($7,500) and previous roof repairs in 1995.

The property experienced several maintenance challenges in the 1990s, particularly with water leaks, as evidenced by multiple complaints in December 1995 regarding roof leaks affecting bedrooms and ceilings, though these issues were resolved. Other routine inspections were conducted in 1999, 2002, and a 2016 safety inspection was completed. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, including cosmetic repairs to apartments in 1988. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have primarily concerned street-level issues outside the building, such as cleaning needs, waste management, and parking violations, which are typical for urban settings and not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 710-722 Taylor 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
81stpercentile

Out of 38 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
