Rent & eviction protection

Is 73 Cervantes Blvd 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.

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 1938
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 73 Cervantes Blvd in the Marina neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1938, currently owned by the Tyler J & Ellenr Biggs Revo trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant structural and system improvements, including two roofing projects completed in 1990 and structural work performed in late 1989, indicating proactive maintenance during that period. More recently, in October 2021, there was a water heater replacement installation, though this permit is currently listed as expired. The property has generated minimal complaint activity, with only two recorded incidents in the past decade: a parking enforcement request in January 2022 regarding a blocked driveway (which could not be verified by responding officers), and a general street cleaning issue involving loose garbage on the sidewalk in June 2012 that was resolved by the Department of Public Works. Given the age of the building and limited permit activity over the past decade, prospective tenants may wish to inquire about any additional maintenance or upgrades that may not be reflected in the available records.

Risk rating

How 73 Cervantes Blvd'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 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 188 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
