NOVs (7y) vs. neighborhood

Above average

FewerMore

This building has 11 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 730 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 before 1979
Built 1910
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1910
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

730 Leavenworth Street is a three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Marvin A & Susan P Remmich. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades, with significant concerns documented between 2002-2006, including insanitary conditions involving garbage areas and lightwells, inadequate lighting in stairways, plumbing issues, and mold problems. More recent concerns include a May 2024 complaint about a potentially collapsing shared fence and a March 2024 general maintenance complaint. The building has undergone multiple roofing work permits between 1996-1998, and a street space permit was issued in 2007.

Safety systems, particularly fire protection, have been an ongoing focus, with five documented fire complaints between 2007-2023 related to sprinkler/standpipe systems and alarm systems. The most recent fire violation from October 2023 regarding sprinkler service was subsequently abated. The building has experienced various infrastructure and hygiene challenges, including a 2014 incident involving a blocked garbage chute leading to insect and rodent problems, and repeated issues with hallway lighting documented in multiple complaints. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned external issues like graffiti and street cleaning matters, indicating continuing concerns about building maintenance and the surrounding environment. While many past violations have been abated, the pattern of complaints suggests periodic maintenance challenges have persisted throughout the building's history.

Risk rating

How 730 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.

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

Director's hearing rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building rate of director's hearings across the owner's portfolio.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
