Rent & eviction protection

Is 749-751 26Th Ave 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 1921

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 1921
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

This two-unit residential building, located at 749-751 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, was constructed in 1921 and is currently owned by QBCPS Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2020, when the front facade received a comprehensive upgrade including stucco replacement and window modernizations. The building has seen consistent maintenance and improvements, including substantial kitchen remodels in 2009 and 2012, bathroom renovations, and various electrical and plumbing upgrades. A notable modern addition was made in 2015 with the installation of a Tesla charging station in the garage.

The property has experienced persistent driveway blocking issues, with multiple incidents recorded between 2022 and 2024, resulting in citations and enforcement actions in several cases. While these parking enforcement matters are regularly addressed through official channels, they represent a recurring interruption to the property's access. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with both the front and rear facades receiving attention when needed, though an attempted rear expansion project in the planning phase was ultimately disapproved. The property's documented history reflects responsible ownership with routine maintenance and upgrading of both structural and functional elements, maintaining compliance with modern building standards.

Risk rating

How 749-751 26Th Ave'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
95thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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