Rent & eviction protection

Is 1777 Pine 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 1964
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 39-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1777 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Pine-gough Associates LP, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, the building has been addressing critical safety requirements, with a recent fire alarm system modification in July 2024 (cost: $69,750) to comply with sleeping area requirements, and completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2022 (cost: $100,000) per San Francisco building codes. The property has a history of maintenance issues requiring urgent attention, including multiple complaints about water damage, mold, and window problems in 2021-2022, along with plumbing concerns regarding sewer gas emission (September 2023) potentially related to vacant units and aging plumbing systems. Security was a significant concern in 2017, with multiple complaints about broken doors leading to security breaches and theft incidents, though these issues appeared to be addressed promptly. The building's maintenance history includes various roofing projects (1996, 2006, 2017), a concrete pool deck replacement (2011), and infrastructure upgrades such as gas line replacement and boiler upgrades (2006, 2016). Recent records show recurring issues with exterior cleanliness, with multiple reports of debris and sanitary concerns in the vicinity of the building throughout 2024. While the property has generally addressed most violations and complaints through required remediation processes, the recent fire alarm system modification and outstanding "sleeping area requirements" violation as of November 2023 warrant attention to ongoing safety compliance efforts.

Risk rating

How 1777 Pine 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 650 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.

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.
