Rent & eviction protection

Is 751-753 Capp 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 1900
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 1900
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-unit, three-story residential building at 751-753 Capp Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, built in 1900 and currently owned by 751 Capp LLC, has undergone significant renovations in recent years, particularly between 2019-2023. Most notably, in 2023, the building faced fire safety issues requiring attention to fire escape maintenance and fire extinguishers, which were subsequently abated in April 2023. In March 2023, serious structural and safety concerns were reported, including problems with stairway safety, a flooding incident affecting multiple floors, and concerns about ventilation. These issues were addressed through various permits and inspections, including a $22,000 project in October 2019 to rebuild severely decayed rear framing and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades throughout 2019-2020.

The building's renovation history shows substantial improvements, including complete electrical rewiring of units A and B, installation of new kitchens and bathrooms, and fire safety system upgrades. However, there have been multiple compliance issues, including three separate complaints in 2019 regarding unpermitted work and dust control during construction. In 2020, during COVID-19, there were complaints about non-compliance with social distancing protocols on the construction site. The building experienced three street space permits from 2019-2020, and more recently, there have been several parking enforcement calls regarding vehicles blocking driveways between 2021-2024. While most recent complaints have been resolved, the building's history suggests an ongoing process of addressing maintenance and compliance issues, particularly related to fire safety and building code requirements.

Risk rating

How 751-753 Capp 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

2026
Planning Record May 14
There are still just as many different, short-term guests coming in and out of all three units, even as of today, and after the home sale banner was taken down a few days ago. Is it legal to have this whole building be short-term rentals? Thanks again for creating homes for tenants not tourists! We just learned they're renting out 3 total units. The first and third floor are short-term rentals. The second floor is allegedly rented out to new long-term tenants that seemed to have just moved in. There were many short-term tenants on the second floor before.
