Rent & eviction protection

Is 765 14Th 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 1925

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 1925
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 765 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by 14 Ave Partners LP, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade. Most notably, a substantial $41,026 fire safety system upgrade was issued in December 2024, which includes new control panels, smoke detectors, pull stations, radio communication equipment, and horn strobes throughout the building, demonstrating a commitment to resident safety. The building underwent extensive renovations between 2015-2016, including complete bathroom and kitchen remodels in all units, electrical upgrades, and the installation of new fixtures and appliances in Units 1-6, with the work being properly documented through multiple building, plumbing, and electrical permits totaling over $240,000.

The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, including a 2018 reroofing project ($21,665), footing replacement in 2016 ($10,000), and a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2017. Past violations from 2002 related to fire safety equipment and egress issues were promptly addressed within two weeks of citation. A more recent complaint from December 2022 reported multiple issues including loose windows, electrical problems, and water damage, which was marked as resolved by March 2023. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, with historical permits indicating previous seismic brick work in 1990 and various routine inspections, though some older permits from the 1990s and 1991 and a 1999 complaint about addressing an address correction are now expired. The most recent fire-related incident recorded was a natural gas leak, though no civilian injuries were reported.

Risk rating

How 765 14Th 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
10thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2025 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
