Rent & eviction protection

Is 1726 Anza 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 1963
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1963
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 apartment building at 1726 Anza Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Mcguire Family Properties L, has faced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years. The property, constructed in 1963, experienced multiple water-related issues in 2023, including complaints about water damage and mold in February that led to repair work in Units 5 and 6, and ongoing problems with washing machine flooding in the garage. Recent maintenance records from 2023 show the installation of a new sliding door in Unit 5, compliance work on dryer vents, and the replacement of gas furnaces. The building's history includes a cluster of violations in January 2003 related to fire safety and security, including smoke detector requirements and self-closing door mandates, though these were all abated by March 2003.

The property has undergone various improvement efforts over the years, including sprinkler installation in 1984 to comply with fire safety regulations. More recent repairs have focused on addressing water damage and ventilation issues, with multiple permits issued in 2023 for interior repairs, waterproofing, and appliance maintenance. The building has experienced recurring heating and water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints from 2021 through 2023 regarding mold, water damage, and heating system deficiencies. While some of these issues have been addressed through permits and repairs, the pattern of plumbing and water-related problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's exterior maintenance history shows regular attention to safety and compliance issues, with recent work focusing on improving safety systems such as dryer ventilation and addressing water damage in multiple units.

Risk rating

How 1726 Anza 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1723 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
