Rent & eviction protection

Is 1700 Golden Gate Ave 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 before 1979
Built 1913
2 or more units

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 1913
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 building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including the installation of a fire alarm monitoring system in 2021 ($53,400) and completion of mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2016 ($40,000). Recent maintenance and safety improvements include plumbing upgrades completed in 2023 for sewer and water systems, as well as electrical work for dryer installations. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple tenant complaints in 2022-2024 regarding plumbing problems, window conditions, electrical systems, and rodent infestations. Multiple fire safety inspections have been conducted between 2017 and 2024, with some identifying issues related to alarm systems, sprinklers, and exits, though most were resolved promptly. Historical records show earlier modifications including foundation repairs (1998), basement conversions (2009), and removal of unauthorized antennas (2014). The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges including past violations for water damage, mold, and lead paint concerns from 2016, though these were officially abated. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing concerns about garbage, debris, and sidewalk conditions in the vicinity of the building, while the most recent building inspection from October 2023 remains active.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing safety and compliance upgrades while also experiencing periodic maintenance challenges. The property has successfully completed mandatory seismic retrofitting and various safety system installations, though recent tenant complaints suggest ongoing concerns with building systems and maintenance. Records indicate prompt responses to most fire safety and building code violations, with many issues being corrected within weeks of identification. The building's age and history of modifications suggest ongoing maintenance requirements, while recent improvements to safety systems indicate attention to regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 1700 Golden Gate Ave'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
1stpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 789 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
