Rent & eviction protection

Is 721-723 2Nd 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 1914

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 1914
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 two-unit residential building at 721-723 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Peter M & Emily M Larocca R, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1914. The most significant recent maintenance work was completed in October 2023, with a reroofing project costing $18,800, demonstrating ongoing investment in building upkeep. The property has a history of following proper maintenance protocols, including a window replacement project in 2003 where 14 windows were upgraded from wood to vinyl in a size-for-size replacement that was visible from the street, and a reroofing project in 1994, though that permit has since expired.

The building's incident history shows very few concerns directly related to the property itself. In 2019, there was a minor issue with an abandoned vehicle near the property, which was promptly addressed and resolved by the Department of Parking and Traffic, and in 2018, there was a general service request to the Department of Building Inspection that was transferred to Public Works. Neither of these incidents appears to have had any direct impact on the building or its residents. The property appears to be well-maintained, with regular updates to major systems as evidenced by the recent roofing work and previous window replacements.

Risk rating

How 721-723 2Nd 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
80thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 345 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
