Rent & eviction protection

Is 1750 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 1910

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 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

This three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building located at 1750 Sacramento St in Nob Hill was constructed in 1910 and currently has 2 tenant buyouts pending from February 2024 totaling $50,000. The property has undergone significant recent activity, particularly regarding safety upgrades. In 2023-2024, major fire safety improvements were implemented, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system on the ground floor, an upgraded fire alarm system, and additional smoke detectors. Multiple units are undergoing simultaneous renovations, with substantial work being completed or in progress for four ADUs including kitchen and bathroom remodels, and electrical improvements across several units.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years, particularly concerning water damage. Multiple tenant complaints document issues with leaks, including a significant incident in late 2022 affecting a third-floor hallway, and more recent complaints about mold and water damage. Notably, the building is currently listed as "Non-Compliant" under San Francisco's Soft Story program (Tier II). Fire safety concerns have been documented through multiple violations and complaints in 2023-2024 regarding exited blockages and sleeping area requirements, though most historical fire-related citations have been resolved. The property has also undergone substantial unit reconfiguration efforts, including the addition of unauthorized units in 2019, which were later addressed through proper permits. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both active remediation of violations and periodic re-emergence of similar issues, particularly concerning water ingress and fire safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 1750 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
