Rent & eviction protection

Is 725-727 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1904
2 or more units

Property type

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 1904
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-story multi-family residential building at 725-727 Baker Street, owned by Amy Lindburg and located in Park North, has undergone several significant improvements since 2017. The property, constructed in 1904, has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades including complete plumbing system modernization with new copper supplies, water heaters, ventilation systems, and gas lines for both units completed in 2017, along with electrical improvements featuring new kitchen subpanels, rewiring, and additional lighting installations. The building received a new flat roof in 2018 (cost: $12,400) and had its kitchen cabinets replaced in both units in 2017 (cost: $30,000). There was an attempt in 2021 to expand the ground floor horizontally and add an additional unit, valued at $350,000, but this permit was ultimately cancelled.

More recent events (2023-2024) have primarily involved routine maintenance and parking-related issues, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024. The property has also experienced some minor maintenance challenges, including two graffiti incidents in late 2023 (one offensive, one not), both of which were promptly addressed. Cleaner service records from 2022-2024 show periodic street and sidewalk cleaning needs. The building's essential systems appear to be well-maintained based on the record of major renovations and upgrades completed, though the property does experience some ongoing neighborhood issues typical for the area, particularly regarding on-street parking management.

Risk rating

How 725-727 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
98thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 16 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
