Rent & eviction protection

Is 752 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.

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 two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 752 Spruce Street in Lone Mountain, owned by Baioni Lvg Tr, was constructed in 1955 and has experienced several notable events throughout its history. In 2008, the property underwent significant maintenance work, including the replacement of approximately 40% of the redwood decking at the front of the building, addressing dry rot issues in two decks, along with reroofing, with combined costs totaling over $21,200. The building faced a series of fire safety violations in November 2004, when a routine inspection revealed multiple safety concerns including egress obstructions from exit hallways, the need for fire extinguisher recharging, inadequate smoke detectors, and the requirement for a gas utility shutoff tool, though all these violations were abated by December 10, 2004. Additional routine inspection records exist from 2000, but no violations were noted in that case.

Recent activity at the property includes a parking-related complaint in January 2023 regarding a blocked driveway, though the responding officer was unable to locate the vehicle. Prior to this, there was one abandoned vehicle incident in 2010 that resulted in towing. The building's documented history shows that while it has required attention to maintenance and safety systems, particularly in 2004, all noted violations have been resolved, and there have been no recorded safety violations in the past 19 years. The most significant recent building work was completed in 2008, focusing on structural elements like decking and roofing.

Risk rating

How 752 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
28thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 374 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.
