Rent & eviction protection

Is 729-751 Diamond 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 1911
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 1911
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 Metaxas Family Trust 2006 owns this two-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1911 in Noe Valley. The property has undergone significant modernization in recent years, with the most recent major work being a fire alarm system upgrade in December 2023 to include new monitoring capabilities and wireless sounders in sleeping rooms, at a cost of approximately $25,868. Major improvements were made in 2019-2022, including an extensive $168,000 kitchen and restroom remodel, ADA compliance work, and various accessibility upgrades. The building previously experienced several fire safety violations in 2006, including issues with combustible storage and fire extinguisher maintenance, which were subsequently closed. More recent concerns include a May 2023 complaint regarding common areas that was resolved by August 2023.

The property has a history of commercial space vacancies, with multiple complaints about vacant storefronts in 2018-2019, and a 2018 incident of unauthorized demolition work was quickly addressed. There were also two plumbing-related complaints in 2011 involving leaks and ceiling issues in the common areas, though these were resolved within a few months. Recent maintenance records show regular upkeep, including reroofing in 2019, flooring replacement, and various accessibility improvements. The building's history suggests ongoing investment in infrastructure and compliance upgrades, with particular attention to fire safety and accessibility requirements. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned street-level cleanliness issues, including reports of abandoned furniture and garbage, though these are external to the building itself and have been resolved through normal city processes.

Risk rating

How 729-751 Diamond 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 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1691 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
