Rent & eviction protection

Is 7700 Geary Blvd 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.

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 1929
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 18-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 7700 Geary Blvd, constructed in 1929, has undergone numerous significant maintenance and safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building has completed major safety upgrades, including a $50,000 reroofing project (2024), installation of a new fire alarm system ($50,886, 2024), and electrical system improvements including new panels and main disconnect installation (2024). The building is classified as a Tier 2 soft-story retrofit property, with that work completed and CFC issued. However, there are several concerning current issues, including active complaints filed in 2024 regarding non-operational windows, security concerns with common area doors, and potential fire escape safety issues. Previously, the building faced significant maintenance challenges between 2016-2018, including multiple violations related to water damage, weatherproofing, and interior surface issues, though these were subsequently abated. The property has experienced recurrent fire safety concerns over the years, with violations and complaints regarding alarm systems, sprinklers, and extinguishers, though most have been corrected. Recent work has included residential unit improvements, such as kitchen remodels in units 108 and 312 (2017), and the addition of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) was filed in 2019. Infrastructure improvements include multiple boiler and water heater replacements (2018-2024) and a comprehensive plumbing system upgrade.

Recent building inspections and permits show ongoing maintenance attention, with several active complaints as of 2024 regarding window functionality and rooftop work, though many historical violations have been resolved. The property has also had issues with garbage management and debris accumulation in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2023-2024. While the building has undergone substantial safety upgrades and improvements in recent years, the persistence of some active maintenance issues and complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident satisfaction.

Risk rating

How 7700 Geary Blvd'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
