Rent & eviction protection

Is 1713-1715 Taraval 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 1944
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1944
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 property at 1713-1715 Taraval Street in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building with 3 units, constructed in 1944, and includes a commercial space. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2022 there was a serious plumbing issue affecting all floors, including the ground-floor restaurant, and in 2020 there were concerns about non-compliant hood and duct systems in the restaurant. The building also had two fire safety incidents requiring correction of blocked exits (July 2022) and refused hood service (August 2020). Building maintenance history shows various structural repairs, including stair repairs in 2003 and framing repairs in 1984, indicating ongoing attention to building upkeep. Recent records from 2023-2024 show multiple environmental health and general cleaning issues, including waste management concerns, though these appear to be external to the building itself. The property underwent a tenant buyout of 1 unit in May 2023 for $3,100, and historical records show previous restaurant-related permits and approvals for expansion and change of ownership. Infrastructure improvements include a 150-amp underground electrical installation in 2006 and plumbing upgrades in 2012.

Risk rating

How 1713-1715 Taraval 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
10thpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 230 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
