Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 21-unit, 3-story building at 750 Presidio Avenue in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Donald Stroh and constructed in 1928, has experienced several significant events and ongoing issues in recent years. Most notably, between 2024-2025, substantial renovation work was undertaken, including the conversion of garage and storage areas into 3 new ADUs, installation of new laundry facilities, and comprehensive unit renovations in 202-305, involving kitchen relocations and bathroom remodels. During this renovation period, the building faced multiple complaints regarding construction noise, with residents reporting persistent woodworking and construction activities disturbing their quality of life and remote work capabilities. These noise complaints were documented in March and June 2026, along with several 311 service requests related to construction activities, including concerns about permit verification.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 750 Presidio Ave 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.

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.

Risk rating

How 750 Presidio Ave'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
11thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 596 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.

Property class (A15)

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.
