Rent & eviction protection

Is 73-75 Divisadero 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 1903
2 or more units

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 1903
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-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 73-75 Divisadero Street in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood is a century-old structure (built in 1903) currently owned by Nicolas Ehr & Yalek Ho Lvg. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade, most notably in December 2012 when multiple violations were recorded including water damage, insect infestation, lack of handrails, and the need for building permits, resulting in the property being declared a nuisance under San Francisco Housing Code Section 1001-d. While these violations were officially abated by March 2013, the building's record shows ongoing concerns with maintenance and compliance, including complaints about construction without proper permits in 2009 and 2019, and a missing side sewer vent cover in 2020. More recently, in 2020, there were electrical system concerns that were referred to the Department of Building Inspection, and a carbon monoxide detector activation was recorded with no CO detection.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, particularly regarding parking enforcement issues, with seven documented cases of driveway blocking between January and October 2024. While most recent complaints have been parking-related, there have been some operational issues noted, including a noise complaint about garbage collection in 2023 and a missed trash collection in 2021. The building's permit history shows limited activity, with records of reroofing in 1999, a horizontal extension attempt in 1991, and a gas houseline extension in 2009, though all these permits have since expired. The cumulative record of violations, complaints, and service requests suggests a pattern of maintenance challenges and regulatory non-compliance requiring attention, though many of the most serious historical violations have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 73-75 Divisadero 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
59thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 144 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
