Rent & eviction protection

Is 704-706 Arguello 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 1955

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 1955
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 704-706 Arguello Boulevard is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood. Built in 1955 and currently owned by the estate of Ernest J. Sabini, this flats and duplex building has a relatively limited history of permitted improvements, with a roofing project documented in 1993 (permit #9317695) that has since expired. The building's most significant recent incident occurred in 2015 when combustible materials were reported as a fire hazard, though this issue was resolved within two months.

The structure has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in the surrounding public areas, with multiple reports of street and sidewalk issues between 2021 and 2024, including recurring problems with overflowing city garbage cans (most recently in October 2024), various instances of illegal parking (including sidewalk parking and driveway obstructions), and occasional cleaning needs. Graffiti was reported in October 2022, described as offensive. While these external issues have been consistently addressed and resolved by city services, they represent the primary documented concerns associated with this property. The building itself has maintained a relatively clean record with no documented internal incidents or code violations in recent years, aside from the noted combustible materials complaint from 2015.

Risk rating

How 704-706 Arguello 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
65thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 182 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
