Rent & eviction protection

Is 784 Spruce 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.

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.

Built 1927
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 784 Spruce Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by the Igor Fishbeyn Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2016 when approximately $40,000 was invested to extend an existing office into the garage area, add an entertainment room, and install a bike rack, along with additional work to move entry doors and create a plumbing soffit. During the same period, the property received electrical upgrades for three rooms and plumbing work to relocate existing laundry facilities. Other notable improvements include the replacement of the furnace in December 2010.

The property has experienced relatively few issues requiring external intervention over the past several years, with the most recent incident being an illegal parking complaint in June 2024 that resulted in a citation. Throughout the building's history, there have been multiple reports of graffiti, including a notable incident on a fire hydrant in 2021, and several instances of loose garbage requiring street cleaning in 2019, 2020, and 2022. The building's maintenance records show regular upkeep, with no reported safety incidents or significant building code violations. A 2018 planning record indicates minor modifications including a half bath and bike parking space installation, with no change to the building's unit count. The only fire-related incident on record was a false alarm or call with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 784 Spruce 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
39thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 317 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
