Rent & eviction protection

Is 752-756 Baker 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.

15+ years since occupancy
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 three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 752-756 Baker Street in Park North was built in 1913 and is currently owned by the Steele Revocable Trust. The property underwent significant renovations in 2006-2008, including comprehensive updates to all three kitchens and six bathrooms (project cost: $100,000), foundation repairs, and structural improvements (including new beams and mudsills), followed by the installation of new heating systems (three furnaces) and electrical upgrades including a new 400-amp service. The building has been subject to regular inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent routine safety inspection occurring in May 2019, which identified and subsequently resolved issues including egress obstruction from back stairs. In 2007, multiple violations were documented and addressed concerning safety equipment and security requirements, including the need for fire extinguishers, gas meter instructions, shutoff tools, and self-closing exterior doors.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street parking and sidewalk maintenance in the surrounding area, with several documented cases of blocked driveways and parking violations between 2016 and 2024. Recent municipal service calls include reports of garbage, debris, and environmental concerns, though these issues appear to have been resolved promptly. While the building's major systems (heating, electrical, and plumbing) were upgraded in the late 2000s, resulting in improved infrastructure, the property remains subject to routine safety inspections and has historically required ongoing maintenance to address various compliance issues. The last known building code violation was abated in June 2019, and there have been no major structural or systems upgrades reported since the 2006-2008 renovation period.

Risk rating

How 752-756 Baker 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
84thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 128 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
