Rent & eviction protection

Is 1724-1730 Sacramento 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 1931
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

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, 11-unit apartment building at 1724-1730 Sacramento Street in Nob Hill, constructed in 1931, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2023, the building completed comprehensive upgrades to Unit 2 ($63,000) and Unit 5 ($55,000), including kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations, along with a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade costing approximately $41,792 to comply with California state fire marshal codes. The property has received consistent attention to infrastructure, including a new hot water boiler installation in 2022 (replacing an old unit from 2014), sewer and house trap replacement work, and periodic HVAC system updates.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety-related issues, though most have been promptly addressed. Recent fire complaints in 2023-2024 have involved fire extinguishers, street numbering, and blocked exits, with the 2023 complaints being corrected and the most recent 2024 complaint being found to have no merit. Historical violations from 2001 documented various fire safety concerns, including egress obstructions, smoke detector issues, and fire escape maintenance needs, all of which were abated by May 2001. The property has maintained its basic infrastructure with improvements such as reroofing in 1991 and the installation of modern HVAC systems in 2010. Recent 311 calls (2023-2024) primarily relate to sidewalk maintenance and parking enforcement issues, while the building's only documented tenant buyout occurred in March 2018 involving two tenants. The building's ownership has consistently addressed maintenance and compliance issues, as evidenced by the prompt completion of multiple permits and repairs over the past several decades.

Risk rating

How 1724-1730 Sacramento 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
14thpercentile

Out of 1125 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.
