Rent & eviction protection

Is 723-725 Shotwell 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 1890

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.

Built 1890
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 property at 723-725 Shotwell Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1890 and owned by Benjamin Harry Kram, this flats/duplex building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in June 2024, permits were issued for multiple repairs including work on the rear side porch, window sashes, interior stair components, and a small roofing area, representing ongoing maintenance attention to the property's condition.

This building has seen substantial improvements to its infrastructure, including the installation of a solar system in 2016 consisting of 33 roof-mounted panels with a total rating of 10.56 kW. The property has also received a new roof in 2016 (complete), and the owner has made efforts to maintain exterior features such as the porch and windows as evidenced by the 2024 permits. Recent records from late 2024 show multiple 311 calls regarding the immediate vicinity of the building, including issues with excessive noise, tree damage, and debris, though these external factors do not necessarily reflect on the building's internal conditions. A significant incident was reported regarding an alleged non-permitted resident offering unit for short-term rental use, though this investigation was closed with no violation found. The property has a history of street use permits and utility upgrades, including garage improvements and electrical work, indicating regular maintenance and modernization efforts by the owner.

Risk rating

How 723-725 Shotwell 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
93rdpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 167 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
