Rent & eviction protection

Is 714-716 Monterey Blvd 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 1938
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 1938
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 714-716 Monterey Blvd in Sunnyside is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Lo Simon. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2019, including ADA bathroom improvements, sewer line repairs, and electrical updates. A notable building violation was issued in February 2013 regarding unauthorized modifications, including light-well enclosure, skylight installation, and new walls, which were addressed through multiple permits and completed by May 2019. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with multiple sewer line repairs documented between 1995 and 2019, including a significant sewer pipe replacement in September 2019.

The building's history reveals some concerning patterns, including a complaint in 2013 regarding unauthorized room modifications and inadequate heating systems, which led to multiple notices of violation. More recently, there is an active complaint from August 2019 regarding an unpermitted rear addition. The property has undergone various accessibility modifications, including the installation of ADA-compliant facilities and the conversion of a former bar space into an art studio. Several tenant buyouts occurred in late 2018, totaling $33,600 for two tenants. Infrastructure maintenance has been an ongoing concern, with the building experiencing issues such as tree root damage to sewer lines (noted in 2019) and historical deck and dry rot repairs. The property has generally complied with building code requirements following the 2013 violations, with all cited issues officially abated by May 2019.

Risk rating

How 714-716 Monterey Blvd'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
