Rent & eviction protection

Is 726-732 14Th 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.

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 four-story, seven-unit apartment building at 726-732 14th Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Harlan A See Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1906. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2015 as a Tier 4 soft-story property, with a cost of $39,600, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's wood-frame seismic retrofit program. Recent electrical upgrades include the complete replacement of eight Zinsco panels in December 2023 and a knob-and-tube feeder replacement in 2005, though a furnace replacement permit from 2016 is marked as expired. The building has undergone regular maintenance, including reroofing projects in 1992 and 2011, and various street space permits in 2019.

The property has faced multiple safety-related issues, particularly regarding fire safety systems and common area maintenance. In 2022, multiple building violations were noted, including concerns about fire escape ladders, fire extinguisher maintenance, and compliance affidavit requirements, though all were abated by February 2023. Earlier violations from 2001 related to fire sprinklers over garbage receptacles were also resolved. The building experienced three fire incidents between 2014-2015, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and a 2014 alarm system issue was recorded with no building access. The property has a history of common area inspections (2001, 2006, and 2022) showing regular oversight by Housing Inspection Services. Recent 311 calls suggest ongoing attention to exterior maintenance, with reports of garbage, debris, and graffiti in the surrounding area between 2024-2025, though most were promptly resolved. An open sidewalk defect case was reported in September 2024, which remains under review.

Risk rating

How 726-732 14Th 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
20thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 230 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
