Rent & eviction protection

Is 700-702 Ashbury 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.

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, six-unit multi-family residential building at 700-702 Ashbury Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Survivors Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in mid-2023, the property completed a substantial kitchen and bathroom remodeling project valued at $65,000, which included new fixtures, electrical work, and plumbing upgrades in one unit. In 2017, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work valued at $53,280 and earned its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) as a Tier 3 property, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Other notable historical improvements include structural work in 1987-1988 involving a new garage and steel beam installation, and stair repairs completed in 1996.

The property has been subject to regular routine housing inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2014, and all previous inspections have been marked as "Not Active." The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems, including roofing work conducted in 1996 (though the permit expired) and various structural improvements in the late 1980s. The area surrounding the building has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024, particularly regarding garbage and debris on public sidewalks and parking violations, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions or management.

Risk rating

How 700-702 Ashbury 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
35thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 378 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.

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 age

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