Rent & eviction protection

Is 711 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 1916
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.

Built 1916
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 35-unit, 4-story building at 711 Leavenworth Street, constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Grm Properties LLC, has experienced several significant incidents and operational challenges over recent years. Most notably, in September 2025, there was a serious elevator malfunction resulting in injury to a resident during a two-story fall when the expired elevator permit was discovered to be in violation. The building has also faced management and maintenance concerns, including a period without an apartment manager in January 2025 for a building with more than 30 units, and multiple instances of water shut-offs without proper notice in 2020.

Recent years have seen the property undergo some permitted renovations, including kitchen and bathroom rehabilitation projects in 2020, with a construction cost of $25,000. The building has been subject to six fire incidents in the past seven years, though specific details of these incidents are not provided in the records. Other notable complaints include construction work being performed in violation of shelter-in-place orders in April 2020, issues with garbage and debris that have required multiple 311 service requests, and concerns about entertainment noise levels.

Risk rating

How 711 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

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
43th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 255 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 8.6%
Moderate concern 81.1%
Severe concern 10.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
