Rent & eviction protection

Is 1407 Francisco 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 1925

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 1925
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

This three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located at 1407 Francisco St in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood has experienced several significant events throughout its history, most notably a recent fire incident in May 2024 that caused substantial damage to Units #10 and #11. The fire, which originated in Unit #10's kitchen, resulted in severe damage to the kitchen and property line wall adjacent to Unit #11, along with smoke damage throughout the unit and a hole in the roof. Building permits have been issued to address the fire damage, including major repairs to Unit #10 involving rewiring, insulation, and kitchen and bathroom reinstallation at a cost of $90,000. The building has a history of fire safety-related complaints and incidents, with records showing repeated issues with boiler permit compliance between 2016-2021, multiple fire extinguisher inspections, and alarm system concerns. In terms of structural safety, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofitting in 2015, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements, and underwent voluntary structural reinforcing work in 1990.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, including a steam boiler replacement in 2011, water storage tank replacement in 2017, and drain/vent pipe repairs in 2018. Historical records from 1996 indicate reroofing work was completed. The property has undergone several routine housing inspections, with some violations noted in 2006 regarding fire escape maintenance, combustible storage in the garage area, and fire proofing repairs, though these issues were subsequently addressed. Recent building concerns primarily stem from the 2024 fire incident and the ongoing process to fully resolve its aftermath, as evidenced by the active status of the fire damage complaint for Unit #10 and the related building permits. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over its history, including heating system compliance problems in the 2000s and 2020s, these have typically been resolved through proper channels. The property's recent history has seen multiple 311 calls primarily related to street-level maintenance and parking issues, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1407 Francisco 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 968 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
