Rent & eviction protection

Is 724-726 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.

Built 1912

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1912
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-unit residential building at 724-726 Spruce Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912, currently owned by Eugene & Deborah J Wong. The property has undergone several significant improvements over its history, including three major expansions/renovations between 1985-1988, specifically a remodel of an existing dwelling unit in 1985, followed by horizontal additions in 1987 and 1988. More recently, in July 2024, the owners initiated a plumbing upgrade with the installation of an 80-gallon heat pump water heater to replace a 40-gallon gas water heater in the garage, marking this as the most recent improvement to the property.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety features, particularly regarding access infrastructure, as evidenced by back stair repairs undertaken in 2009. The property has experienced minimal street-related issues, with only three 311 calls recorded between 2012-2018, none of which directly involved the building itself. These calls addressed external municipal matters such as pavement defects, street lighting, and street cleaning, all of which were appropriately resolved by city services. The building's permit history suggests consistent upkeep and modernization efforts by the owners, with particular attention to safety and infrastructure improvements when necessary.

Risk rating

How 724-726 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
50thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 260 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
