Rent & eviction protection

Is 701 Fillmore 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 1900
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 1900
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

701 Fillmore Street is a 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Mckeever Properties and located in the Alamo Square neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most recent notable changes occurring in 2018 when retail spaces were modified with lighting, electrical outlets, and storage for a record sales and repair business, along with related signage. In 2015, important safety and accessibility improvements were made, including the installation of an accessible bathroom on the ground floor and the restoration of storefront windows following damage from an automobile accident. The building has maintained regular safety inspections, with records showing prompt attention to violations such as the installation of fire extinguishers and door viewers in 2008, all of which were resolved within two months.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of routine maintenance and safety checks, with no major structural issues reported in recent years. The building has experienced some recurring issues with street-level waste management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between December 2024 and January 2025 regarding overflowing city garbage cans. Two carbon monoxide-related incidents were recorded at the property, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The ground floor retail space has seen various permitted modifications, including the recent establishment of a record sales business (Originals Vinyl) in 2018, and there was an unsuccessful attempt to convert part of the ground floor into a grocery and liquor store. All recent building permits have been properly processed, with the most substantial improvements focused on accessibility and retail space restoration.

Risk rating

How 701 Fillmore 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
46thpercentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 165 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
