Rent & eviction protection

Is 1760 Bush 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.

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

1760 Bush Street is a 7-story, 108-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1972, currently owned by 1760 Bush LP. The building has undergone significant infrastructure upgrades over the past decade, with particular attention to life safety systems. Recent fire-related improvements include a new ERRCS (Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System) installation in 2018, followed by additional modifications in 2021, with the most recent fire violation identified in October 2024 relating to an ERRCS permit issue. The building has experienced recurring heating system challenges, particularly evident in multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues between 2022 and 2023, with recent complaints about heating system maintenance and kitchen fixtures as of March 2024.

The property has a documented history of building system upgrades, including multiple boiler and water heater replacements between 2011 and 2024, electrical system improvements, and fire safety system updates. Notable maintenance challenges have included elevator issues (2019), temporary heating outages affecting vulnerable residents (2022), and concerns about balcony safety features (2021). The building had several fire code violations that appear to have been mostly addressed, with recent violations in 2023 and 2024 related to sleeping area requirements and ERRCS permitting. The property has maintained active compliance with most plumbing and electrical systems, with regular maintenance and replacement of key infrastructure components, though there have been instances requiring immediate attention to resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 1760 Bush 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 3.7%
Moderate concern 22.1%
Severe concern 74.2%
