Rent & eviction protection

Is 775-795 Minna 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 1906
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 1906
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 775-795 Minna Street is a historic one-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. Built in 1906, this Allahyari Living Trust-owned building contains 11 units and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past decades. Recent plumbing issues have been documented, including a 2023 incident involving sewage leaks that affected neighboring properties, as well as repairs to water leaks and kitchen facilities. The building underwent mandatory housing code violations remediation in 2016, addressing multiple issues including smoke detector compliance, plumbing repairs, interior surfaces maintenance, and lead paint concerns. Specific recent maintenance actions include a complete water heater replacement in 2022 and a sewer line repair in 2023, though some building systems have shown recurring issues, such as the roof, which required multiple repairs in the early 1990s.

The building has experienced several safety-related events in recent years, particularly concerning fire safety systems. In 2024, violations were recorded related to sprinkler and standpipe systems, and there have been previous issues with alarm systems documented in both 2022 and 2023. Other historical maintenance records reveal periodic problems with basic infrastructure, including heating systems, window functionality, and plumbing fixtures. The property has undergone regular oversight through housing inspections in 2007, 2011, and 2016, with the 2016 inspection revealing multiple code compliance issues that were ultimately abated. While the building appears to have addressed most major violations through completed permits and inspections, the recent pattern of fire safety system violations and water-related incidents suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in preserving this century-old property.

Risk rating

How 775-795 Minna 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
8thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 396 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
