Rent & eviction protection

Is 760 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1924
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 1924
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 12-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 760 14th Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Bernstein Jerry & Eve, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges since its 1924 construction. The property completed required soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2022 (as a Tier 3 building) and added two ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) on the ground floor, with several revisions to the original plans between 2019-2022. Major safety upgrades have been implemented, including a comprehensive fire safety system installation in 2022 ($23,000), fire sprinkler system installations, and electrical service upgrades to a 400-amp system completed in 2023. Building violations from 2004 related to fire safety, stairs, and lead paint hazards were resolved in 2005.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance and construction-related issues over recent years. In 2024, there were complaints about hot water and construction safety, following a pattern of complaints in 2021-2024 regarding construction debris and access issues during ADU installation. Previous heating system failures were documented in 2019-2020. Current fire safety concerns include a 2023 violation regarding the alarm system maintenance. Recent building permits indicate ongoing work related to final inspections for both the ADU additions and the soft-story retrofit, with completion dates continuing into 2024. The property has demonstrated significant investment in safety and modernization, though recent complaints suggest some residents continue to experience basic maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 760 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
5thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 273 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
