Rent & eviction protection

Is 720-730 Broderick 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 1880

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 1880
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 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 720-730 Broderick Street in Park North, owned by Soleil Properties LLC, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1880. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 with a $60,000 concrete foundation improvement, achieving Tier 3 compliance with Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. The property has maintained regular safety inspections, with the most recent inspection in 2024 noting pipe issues, and had completed various necessary repairs over the years, including substantial deck and stair repairs in 2004 and 2006 to address deterioration and safety concerns. In 2017, the building underwent electrical improvements including the installation of a Ufer ground system.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues that have been addressed through appropriate channels. In 2006, a series of violations were documented regarding security, plumbing, and building safety, including requirements for fire extinguishers, proper water heaters, and secure entryways, all of which were abated by October 2006. More recent concerns have included mold (2017), appliance malfunctions (2009), and routine safety inspections. The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding garbage management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and debris (most recently in 2024), though these are primarily street-related issues not directly affecting the building's interior conditions. Two fire complaints were recorded in 2010 and 2017, both found to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 720-730 Broderick 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
6thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 749 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.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
