Rent & eviction protection

Is 724 Valencia St rent-controlled?

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 1921
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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

724 Valencia Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1921, currently owned by 724 Valencia LLC. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major safety upgrades including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building in 2013 (cost: $28,730), followed by the addition of fire sprinkler monitoring systems and underground piping in 2016. The ground floor retail space has seen substantial renovations, including a new storefront and ADA-compliant facilities in 2013 (cost: $25,000). The building's residential component received important infrastructure upgrades between 2014-2015, including gas line installations, furnace replacements, and comprehensive electrical rewiring of living spaces.

The property has experienced several compliance issues over the years, most notably in 2009-2012 when there were multiple violations related to expired permits, though these were ultimately abated by December 2014. More recently, between late 2024 and early 2025, there have been several reports of maintenance issues including graffiti, sidewalk cleanliness concerns, and debris on the property. A conditional use authorization for cannabis retail sales was approved for the property in 2022, indicating potential future commercial use. The building has recorded multiple fire safety inspections with occasional violations (e.g., 2017 violation for alarm system maintenance), though these have generally been resolved promptly. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 suggest ongoing minor maintenance and cleanliness issues around the property's exterior.

Risk rating

How 724 Valencia 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
