Rent & eviction protection

Is 719-721 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.

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 1880
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 719-721 Shotwell Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1880, currently owned by Sean & Mandy Murphy Carroll. The building has undergone significant renovations since 2018, including comprehensive unit remodels, kitchen and bathroom updates, and the addition of new amenities. Notable improvements completed between 2018-2020 include the installation of mini-split heat pump systems for climate control in all units, window modifications on the north side, and infrastructure upgrades such as a catch basin for drainage. The building underwent extensive unit-by-unit renovations in 2018, with work valued at over $103,000 in Unit 719 alone, including bathroom remodeling and the addition of a full bath. The property had some safety-related building violations noted during an annual inspection in September 2015, including issues with stair railings, fire safety equipment, and security requirements, though these were all resolved by February 2016.

Recent maintenance and improvement work has focused on modernizing the building's systems and amenities, with most major projects completed between 2018-2020. Regular inspections have been conducted over the years, with the last recorded annual inspection (201570610) occurring in September 2015 and being resolved in February 2016. The building has also experienced some external challenges as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls regarding street issues, including parking enforcement matters, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property's extensive renovation history suggests proactive maintenance and modernization efforts by the current ownership, with particular attention paid to improving living conditions and addressing historical building features.

Risk rating

How 719-721 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
90thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 238 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
