Rent & eviction protection

Is 72-74 Stanyan Blvd 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 1953

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 property at 72-74 Stanyan Blvd is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1953, currently owned by Nguyen Vu Khanh Linh. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges over recent years. Most notably, in mid-2022, the building experienced foundation concerns due to neighboring excavation work at 66-68 Stanyan St, though these issues were ultimately resolved by October 2022 following the completion of soil stabilization work at a cost of $5,000. Between 2018-2021, the property underwent substantial renovations including window replacements (36 total windows replaced in 2018 with fiberglass units costing $36,000), interior remodeling of bathrooms and kitchen (2018, $50,000), and the addition of a rear deck and stair access (2018 decision and 2021 filing). The building has also experienced some maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2018 complaint regarding unsafe construction practices during exterior painting, and two fire safety complaints regarding combustible materials and blocked exits, both of which were corrected by September 2018. More recently, there have been multiple reports of parking violations and driveway blocking issues in 2024, as well as some instances of garbage and debris concerns, though these are not directly related to the building's maintenance or safety.

Risk rating

How 72-74 Stanyan Blvd'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
82ndpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 93 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
