Cow Hollow, SF 94123 0522009 12 units · 3 fl · 1910

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2736-2758 Franklin 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

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

The three-story, 12-unit apartment building at 2736-2758 Franklin Street in Cow Hollow, built in 1910, is currently owned by Ntx 94123 LLC and recently completed its soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) with a CFC issued. The property has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, particularly in 2019-2020, with major work including unit conversions, kitchen relocations, heating system upgrades from electric heaters to gas furnaces, and comprehensive electrical rewiring across multiple units. Final inspections for this work were completed in February 2023, though several earlier permits from 2019 had expired. The building has maintained regular safety inspections, with the most recent fire safety issues being addressed in mid-2024 regarding extinguishers. Several fire violations from 2021 regarding egress lighting, signs, and owner contact posting requirements were abated.

Historical maintenance issues have been documented through the years, particularly in the late 2000s, including problems with windows, mold, and floor coverings, all of which were resolved. The building has experienced periodic plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance work, with the most recent major systems upgrades occurring between 2018 and 2020. While there have been several 311 calls regarding street cleaning and sidewalk conditions, and various fire safety complaints, most issues have been promptly addressed. The property's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance and improvement, particularly in the past few years, with no current active violations or complaints. The building's age and location have resulted in typical urban challenges being managed through regular inspections and maintenance, with recent improvements focusing on modernizing systems and addressing past deficiencies.

Risk rating

How 2736-2758 Franklin 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
7thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 801 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

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