Rent & eviction protection

Is 742-750 Central 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 1900
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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, six-unit multi-family residential building at 742-750 Central Avenue in Park North, owned by the Estate of Willie B Eashman, was constructed in 1900 and has experienced several significant events over its history. Most notably, in 2009, there was a gas line repair completed, and there have been multiple fire alarm activations recorded between 2017 and 2024, though all were determined to be either unintentional or due to system malfunctions, with no injuries reported. A gas leak incident was also recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported in any incidents.

The building has undergone at least one major maintenance project on record, with reroofing work permitted in 1996, though this permit is now expired. Two routine safety inspections were conducted by Housing Inspection Services in 2009 and 2017, though the outcomes of these inspections are not detailed in the records. The property has generated multiple recent complaints in 2024, primarily related to illegal parking violations, with at least four citations issued, and recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property, for which Recology was called to respond several times between July and August 2024. The most recent building-related activity was a Rent Board inquiry in November 2024 regarding fee and housing inventory updates, which has been resolved with database corrections. While the building has experienced various maintenance and safety-related events over the years, the absence of any recent major violations or critical safety incidents is notable, though the ongoing concerns about street cleaning and parking enforcement may impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 742-750 Central 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
24thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 606 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

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
