Rent & eviction protection

Is 1750 8Th 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 before 1979
Built 1931
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1931
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 1750 8th Avenue property is a two-unit residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Razzak Arshad A & Nazia J. The building has experienced significant structural and occupancy challenges over the years, most notably in 2006 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized unit conversions, including reports of an illegally constructed third and fourth floor and concerns about an unauthorized second unit converted from garage space. These issues were particularly concerning as they triggered permit applications (one of which was ultimately cancelled) and subsequent inspections by the Building Inspection Division. The property has undergone several legitimate repairs and improvements, including seismic damage repairs in 1992, wall repairs and utility relocations in 1991, and kitchen modifications in 1993.

More recent history shows persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly with sewer issues, as evidenced by two sewage backup incidents in late 2021 and a more recent incident in February 2022. The building has also experienced various maintenance and accessibility issues, including a blocked sidewalk incident in 2017 involving a residential totter, and multiple instances of illegal parking in the vicinity. A notable pattern of parking violations has emerged, with three documented instances of sidewalk parking between 2022 and 2023. The property appears to be in a relatively stable condition currently, with no active building complaints or violations on record as of October 2023, though the historical record suggests periodic maintenance and compliance monitoring may be required.

Risk rating

How 1750 8Th 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
55thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 672 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
