Downtown, SF 94109 0299011 14 units · 3 fl · 1909

A handful of records on file over the last seven years, and our model predicts a high risk of further maintenance problems in the next 12 months. A few records worth reading before you sign. Check whether they were closed out, and ask what was actually fixed.

NOVs (7y) vs. neighborhood
Records already on file, against a typical building in Downtown — not a forecast
Above average
avg 6.9
7
FewerMore

This building has 7 novs (7y), above the Downtown average of 6.9.

This building's 81% risk is high in absolute terms; it still rates lower-risk here because buildings in Downtown generally score worse. The colour is relative to the neighborhood, the percentage is not.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 724 Leavenworth 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 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.

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 14-unit, three-story apartment building at 724 Leavenworth Street, owned by Martland Fmly 2020 Tr, has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects since its construction in 1909. Most notably, the building has seen substantial electrical system improvements, with recent rewiring work in 2022-2023 covering multiple units, including Apts E & F (2022), a kitchen & bathroom remodel (2019), and various unit rewiring projects between 2014-2017. Major infrastructure work includes a complete sewer line and house trap replacement (2021), exterior corridor drain line replacement (2019), steam boiler replacement (2014), and a reroofing project (2011). The building has also experienced several periods of construction activity that generated tenant complaints, particularly in 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding work being conducted without proper permits and associated noise and dust issues. More recently, there have been active building violations (since March 2024) related to fire safety equipment, specifically concerning fire extinguisher date tags and compliance affidavits.

The property's fire safety systems have been the subject of multiple inspections and complaints over the years, with several violations related to sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and blocked exits. While most historical violations have been abated, including a sprinkler/5-year service violation and extinguisher/service required violation from 2018, there seem to be recurring issues with maintaining fire safety equipment, as evidenced by recent complaints in 2023-2024. The building has also had various plumbing and mechanical upgrades, including multiple street space usage permits in 2019-2023 and several routine maintenance items being addressed through permits. Recent 311 calls (from late 2023 to present) typically relate to street cleaning and debris issues in the surrounding area, rather than problems with the building itself.

Risk rating

How 724 Leavenworth 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
51stpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 220 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
