Rent & eviction protection

Is 1725 Fulton 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 1927
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 1927
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 24-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1725 Fulton Street, built in 1927, has experienced several significant incidents in recent years, most notably a fire in 2023 that required substantial repairs to Unit 7, including the replacement of floor joists, subfloor, interior walls, window frames, kitchen cabinets, and associated finishes, with fire damage repairs continuing into 2024. The building has a concerning history of safety violations and maintenance issues, with active violations from 2019 related to smoke detector requirements, fire escape maintenance, fire sprinkler systems, and combustible storage. The property underwent voluntary seismic retrofitting in 2002 and received various improvements over the years, including solar hot water system installations in 1984. More recent building complaints have highlighted issues with electrical systems, sleeping area requirements, blocked exits, and fire safety equipment. There were also significant habitability concerns in 2021-2022, including reports of hoarding, electrical issues with extension cords, and hot water outages. The building's management has partially addressed some fire safety violations, but multiple citations remain open as of late 2024, including a sleeping area requirement violation from November 2023. Recent fire inspections in 2024 noted multiple corrected conditions related to electrical systems, hazardous materials, alarm systems, and extinguishers, though concerns about sprinkler systems were found to have "no merit."

The property has a documented history of multiple fire safety violations between 2019 and 2023, including problems with the alarm system, fire extinguishers, exits, and combustible storage. Although some violations have been abated, persistent issues with fire safety systems and building maintenance remain a concern. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to infrastructure improvements, including a sewer line repair in 2016 and various repairs following the 2023 fire. Multiple 311 calls regarding the property have been recorded, primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues outside the building. Recent complaints about garbage and debris near the property suggest ongoing challenges with waste management and building upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1725 Fulton 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
0thpercentile

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