Rent & eviction protection

Is 7026 Fulton 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 1947
2 or more units

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

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 1947
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-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 7026 Fulton Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by David P. N. & Eve W. C. Tam, was constructed in 1947 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past decade. The most substantial work occurred between 2015 and 2016, focusing on the front facade, where multiple permits were issued for stucco and framing repairs, including a complete replacement project costing $20,000 that addressed deteriorated conditions identified in a correction notice. Additional structural concerns were documented in 2015-2016, including a complaint about compromised stucco near the garage and a report of unauthorized construction and plumbing work, though these issues were subsequently addressed and marked as not active.

The building has a history of responding to building safety and maintenance issues, with several significant repairs completed in recent years, including a complete reroofing in 2013 ($8,000) and repairs to a leaking water pipe in 2015. Historically, the property faced multiple fire safety violations in 2003, including issues with smoke detectors and fire proofing, but these were promptly addressed by April 2003. Recent maintenance calls from 2020-2023 primarily relate to exterior cleanliness and nearby urban issues, including graffiti removal, sidewalk cleaning, and reports of waste, which are generally typical for urban residential properties and don't directly reflect on building maintenance. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, with most recent complaints being resolved through appropriate construction work or found to be no longer active.

Risk rating

How 7026 Fulton 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
6thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 978 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Number of units

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

Permit rate, owner's portfolio

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