Rent & eviction protection

Is 773-777 Dolores 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 three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 773-777 Dolores Street, owned by Emile A & Marion E Serres, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades. Most recently, in February 2023, the building faced multiple violations including problems with fire proofing, sanitation, and compliance with smoke/carbon safety requirements, though these issues were abated by March 2023. A significant pattern of maintenance concerns emerged from 2011, when violations were documented for fire proofing, weather proofing on siding, fire escape ladder maintenance, stair repairs, plumbing issues, and potential lead paint concerns, all of which were also addressed by March 2023. The building's maintenance history includes several important repairs, such as a $1,500 stairway repair in 2006 to address a Notice of Violation, and a $11,500 reroofing project completed in 2001.

Recent concerns have primarily centered around parking violations and general maintenance, with multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking between 2023-2024, along with a sewage backup issue reported and resolved in February 2024. The property has experienced two fire-related incidents in its history: a gasoline spill and a smoke detector activation, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. The building's most recent street space permit was issued in 2018, though its cost was noted as $1.00. The property's urgent repairs and compliance issues, particularly those related to fire safety and building maintenance, suggest a history of addressing regulatory requirements, though with some gaps in proactive maintenance evidenced by recurring violations.

Risk rating

How 773-777 Dolores 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
21stpercentile
