Rent & eviction protection

Is 755-759 Webster 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 1908
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
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 multi-family residential building at 755-759 Webster Street in Alamo Square, owned by Lawrence H Shane & Toni Don, was constructed in 1908 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past few years, most notably in 2018 when substantial improvements were made to the rear laundry structure, including structural work costing $15,000, and the replacement of the second means of egress wood stairs. Electrical upgrades were completed in the laundry room with the installation of GFI plugs, and plumbing work included pipe relocations. A new house trap was installed in 2021. The building experienced various issues in its history, with multiple routine safety inspections revealing several violations in 2008 related to sanitation, fire safety, security, and building requirements, all of which were abated by October 2008. Earlier complaints from 1996-1998 noted concerns about rear stairs and water issues, all of which have since been resolved.

Recent activity at the property has shown attention to safety and maintenance, with the 2018 improvements focusing on both structural integrity and safety features. The building's fire safety systems have experienced several activations, primarily related to unintentional alarms, CO detector malfunctions, and a contained cooking fire, none of which resulted in injuries. The property has had some maintenance challenges, including a 2015 incident involving sewage leaking into a PG&E box, but this has been addressed. Current 311 calls from January 2025 indicate some external issues in the vicinity of the property, such as graffiti and debris, though these are more related to street conditions than building maintenance. The most recent building permits and improvements suggest ongoing attention to maintaining and upgrading the property's systems and safety features.

Risk rating

How 755-759 Webster 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 85 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
