1750 Franklin St

Pacific Heights, SF 94109 0642008 13 units · 3 fl · 1914

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 1750 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 1914

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 1914
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 13-unit multi-family residential building at 1750 Franklin Street in Pacific Heights was constructed in 1914 and is currently owned by 1750 Franklin LP. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023-2024 to comply with current fire safety codes, costing approximately $40,000. The building has addressed important safety concerns through voluntary structural strengthening in 2018, including ground floor anchor bolt installation, and completed a soft-story retrofit process initiated in 2017. The building has a history of maintaining its structural integrity, with records showing consistent attention to issues like dry rot repairs (most recently in 2013), facade maintenance, and regular improvements such as roofing work completed in 2006 and 1988.

The property has experienced various routine safety inspections and addressed multiple building code compliance issues, particularly in 2004 when several violations were documented and subsequently abated, including fire proofing, plumbing, security, and fire safety concerns. Recent maintenance and repair work has included sewer pipe replacement in 2014 and various unit-specific improvements, such as a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit 1 in 2008. While there have been some fire safety-related incidents recorded, including false alarms and equipment issues, these did not result in civilian injuries. A recent fire complaint from June 2024 regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems was found to have no merit. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both safety requirements and general upkeep, with prompt responses to violations and ongoing system upgrades to meet current codes.

Risk rating

How 1750 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
29thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 684 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
