Rent & eviction protection

Is 739-741 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.

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 1957
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 739-741 Monterey Blvd is a single-story multi-family residential building with 2 units, constructed in 1957, and includes a flat and store configuration (4 units or less) under the ownership of Mcgee Janet et al. The building has undergone several significant improvements, with substantial renovation work performed in 2007-2008 that included basement modifications, bathroom additions, and structural improvements, followed by various maintenance upgrades including sewer line replacement in 2015 and furnace installation in 2008. Recent concerning patterns have emerged, particularly in the past year, with multiple sewer-related incidents documented through 311 calls between February and November 2023. The building has also experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, particularly in 2022 and 2024, with violations related to alarm systems, exit maintenance, and extinguishers, though most have been marked as abated. The property has a history of commercial vacancy issues in 2018, triggering enforcement under the vacant storefront ordinance, but this was resolved within two months. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to sewer systems and general building upkeep, including missed trash collection and sidewalk cleaning issues.

The building's permit history shows systematic addressing of structural and maintenance needs, though the concentration of recent sewer-related complaints suggests this remains an area requiring attention. The property underwent significant basement-level work in 2007-2008, including partition walls, bathroom installation, and electrical rewiring, indicating a major renovation phase. Fire safety has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations recorded between 2013 and 2024, though most have been resolved promptly. Recent utility work, including sewer line replacement in 2015, suggests ongoing infrastructure maintenance, though the frequency of recent sewer-related 311 calls indicates this may require further monitoring.

Risk rating

How 739-741 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
48thpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 67 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
