Rent & eviction protection

Is 700 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

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 28-unit, 4-story apartment building at 700 Presidio Avenue, owned by Supanich Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades since its construction in 1978. Most recently, in 2023, the building addressed heating system concerns with the replacement of a 119-gallon storage tank and resolved a sleeping area requirement violation issued by the fire department. The building's safety systems received substantial attention in 2021, with a $62,935 voluntary upgrade of its fire alarm system including new detectors, pull stations, and low-frequency sounders. Previous improvements include the replacement of 58 windows in 2012, balcony concrete decking repairs in 2016, and electrical system upgrades in 2021. The property has faced recurring boiler permit issues, with violations noted in 2010, 2022, and most recently in August 2023, though these were typically resolved promptly.

The building's maintenance history reveals periodic challenges with moisture and ventilation as evidenced by multiple complaints regarding mold issues between 2010 and 2024. In 2022, there was a documented water leak affecting the garage area. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm system activations, though these were generally determined to be false alarms or system malfunctions with no injuries reported. While there have been several routine inspections and some violations related to safety equipment and system permits, most have been promptly addressed and abated. Recent tenant activity includes a buyout in July 2023 for $42,780. The building's location in Lower Pacific Heights has seen consistent attention to both interior maintenance and exterior conditions, with numerous 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and parking enforcement issues.

Risk rating

How 700 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
7thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 623 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
