Rent & eviction protection

Is 1743-1753 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 1905

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 1905
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 12-unit residential building at 1743-1753 Golden Gate Avenue, owned by the Rivers Dollard Family Trust, is a three-story apartment building constructed in 1905 that has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. Most notably, the building completed the mandatory Soft Story retrofit program, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements as a Tier 3 building, and has installed a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor and new units. The property underwent substantial unit improvements between 2020-2023, including major renovations to units 2 and 9, installation of new ADUs, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and comprehensive electrical rewiring throughout multiple units. A significant building violation was recorded in December 2022 regarding unauthorized demolition work in Unit 2, which has since been resolved, though it did lead to multiple permit modifications to comply with code requirements.

The building's history includes various maintenance and compliance issues between 2015-2020, including heating system problems, window repairs, and plumbing concerns, though most have been addressed through subsequent renovations and completed permits. A recent routine inspection was conducted in October 2023, and there have been no active violations or complaints related to unit conditions in the past year. Multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris have been recorded near the property in recent months (2023-2024), though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific problems. The property's significant renovation work, which has included upgrading electrical systems to 400 amps, improving fire safety systems, and addressing historical building deficiencies through the Soft Story retrofit program, demonstrates compliance with current safety standards and building codes.

Risk rating

How 1743-1753 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 781 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
