Inner Richmond, SF 94118 1652025 3 units · 3 fl · 1910

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 740-742 10Th 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.

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.

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-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 740-742 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district was constructed in 1910 and is currently owned by Jew Fmly Tr. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past few decades, including a complete electrical system upgrade in 2016 with the installation of 200-amp service and four new meters, a house trap replacement in 2014, and the recent replacement of eight fiberglass windows in 2014 with energy-efficient Milgard windows. Earlier renovations included two separate aluminum window installations in the mid-1980s and a reroofing project in 2000, though the permit for this latter work had expired.

More recently, the property has experienced a notable pattern of parking-related issues, particularly regarding blocked driveways and sidewalk parking, with multiple enforcement actions taken between 2023 and 2024, though numerous incidents resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Additionally, there have been several cases of garbage and debris removal requests in 2024, primarily involving abandoned furniture and a mattress, with one illegal posting complaint remaining open as of September 2024. While these recent issues primarily concern public roadways and sidewalks rather than the building itself, they may affect the general surroundings experienced by residents. The building's documented permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, though one notable gap in records appears with the expired reroofing permit from 2000.

Risk rating

How 740-742 10Th 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1344 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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