Rent & eviction protection

Is 1748-1752 Fell 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 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 three-story apartment building at 1748-1752 Fell Street in Park North, owned by 1748 Fell St LLC, was constructed in 1900 and contains five residential units. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, notably the addition of multiple ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) completed in 2022, including two new ADUs at the ground floor within the existing front structure and one in the rear structure. The building has received comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2023, including rewiring of all units and a 400-amp main service upgrade, as well as the installation of a new automatic fire alarm system. Recent improvements also include the replacement of 18 rear windows with aluminum frames in March 2024.

The property has a history of addressing safety concerns, with all fire safety violations from 2017 (including fire extinguisher servicing and smoke detector requirements) having been abated. Recent maintenance records show attention to building systems, including a completed fire sprinkler system installation (though the permit expired) and various plumbing improvements. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2003 and 2017, and tenant records indicate a buyout of two tenants in September 2022 for $25,000. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property and surrounding area between 2023 and 2024, these primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1748-1752 Fell 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
76thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 191 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 permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

Building age

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