Rent & eviction protection

Is 750-756 Lake 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 1911

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 1911
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 four-unit, four-story apartment building at 750-756 Lake Street, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Sf Lake Street 754 Llc, has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, in 2018, the building received comprehensive safety upgrades including the installation of a new automatic fire alarm system with low frequency sounders in sleeping areas, water flow monitoring, and a complete sprinkler system with 116 heads. The building's infrastructure was further modernized with the installation of in-floor space heating and domestic hot water systems for all four units. Recent maintenance work includes a gas houseline extension completed in September 2023 and a new entrance canopy installed in 2019.

The building experienced several notable issues in 2016, including multiple housing code violations related to heating problems, fire safety equipment, and building systems, though all these violations have since been marked as "Not active."

The property underwent significant electrical system upgrades in 2016, including new wiring and a 400-amp service installation. Recent maintenance work has focused on building safety and structural improvements, including the installation of a rear yard fence in 2018 and various plumbing system renewals in 2019. The building's history shows active management and maintenance, particularly focusing on safety systems and basic infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 750-756 Lake 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
12thpercentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 581 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
