Rent & eviction protection

Is 1770 North Point 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 1959

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 1959
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 property at 1770 North Point Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood. Built in 1959 and currently owned by the Tam Family Trust, this apartment building has undergone several maintenance and repair projects over the years, with the most significant recent work being a $12,000 reroofing project completed in 2006. Historical permit records show earlier reroofing attempts in 1996 (which expired) and various repair work including plaster and floor refurbishments in 1990, along with the removal of a rear redwood deck in 1983, though these permits are now expired.

The building's recent 311 call history from 2019 to 2024 shows typical urban maintenance issues, though none specifically related to the building's internal conditions or systems. These external matters included three street cleaning requests - for hazardous materials (glass) in December 2019, an abandoned Christmas tree in January 2021, and loose garbage in October 2023 - all of which were resolved by city services. The most recent incident, a driveway blocking complaint, occurred in November 2024 and was handled by parking enforcement. While the maintenance record shows regular upkeep of the property through roof work and various repairs, it's notable that recent maintenance activity appears limited, with the last significant building-specific work being the 2006 reroofing project.

Risk rating

How 1770 North Point 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
52ndpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 474 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
