Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit building at 742-748 14th Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by King Residual Trust, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that may impact resident comfort and safety. Most concerning is a recent pattern of fiber-related problems, including a 2023 complaint about fiberglass particles leaking from the roof into an apartment, and debris issues at a sliding door between rooms. Water management has also been a recurring concern, with the building receiving two separate Notices of Violation regarding drainage issues: one in 2021 concerning a lightwell area lacking proper drainage that could affect neighboring properties, and a subsequent 2022 permit (completed) for the installation of a curb and roof drain to address this problem.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 742-748 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

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.

Risk rating

How 742-748 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
18thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 235 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
