Rent & eviction protection

Is 746 Douglass 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.

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 1914
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

746 Douglass Street is a 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1914 and currently owned by Warren K & Lillian K Woo Re. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past decade, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2017-2018 that addressed multiple violations including stair repairs, electrical upgrades, and kitchen improvements. This work followed a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, with the building experiencing multiple violations and complaints related to safety and habitability between 2017-2019, including problems with plumbing, electrical systems, and various appliances. These violations were generally resolved through subsequent repairs and upgrades, including the replacement of water service lines in August 2024 and various electrical improvements. While the building's maintenance history shows regular roof replacements and infrastructure improvements, including gas piping installation in 2012 and various electrical upgrades, there have been recurring issues with stairs, plumbing, and electrical systems that required attention through both violations and complaints.

Recent maintenance activity includes multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street issues near the property, including garbage, parking concerns, and flooding. The most recent significant improvement was the replacement of the water service line in August 2024, indicating ongoing attention to the building's infrastructure needs. The property has a documented history of addressing safety concerns through repairs and improvements, though the pattern of recurring violations and complaints suggests periodic maintenance challenges. All known violations and complaints prior to 2024 have been marked as "Not Active," indicating they have been resolved, though the building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance requirements may be expected.

Risk rating

How 746 Douglass 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
14thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1616 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
