Rent & eviction protection

Is 725-737 Burnett 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.

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 1968
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 725-737 Burnett Avenue property is a two-story, 24-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1968, currently owned by Gaehwiler 2000 Tr. The building has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement in 2022-2023 that included installing sounders in all dwelling units to meet current safety codes, with the work properly completed through multiple building and electrical permits. The property has a documented history of deck repair issues, with active building violations from 2019 related to joist and decking repairs. In late 2022, the building underwent in-kind replacement of 10 decks to address these compliance issues, with work valued at $250,000. The building has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program, achieving Tier 2 status with a CFC issued.

Historical records show a range of maintenance and upgrade work, including a significant plumbing renovation in Unit #1 in 2018 involving kitchen cabinet and countertop replacement, and a water heater replacement in 2010. The building has experienced regular fire safety checks, with some minor violations noted and promptly corrected in 2022 related to alarm systems, sprinklers, and extinguishers. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property and its vicinity, including reports of debris and illegal parking, most issues have been resolved through appropriate channels. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing both routine and urgent repairs, though the persistence of the 2019 deck-related violations (still marked as active) stands out as a notable concern.

Risk rating

How 725-737 Burnett 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
6thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 162 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
