Rent & eviction protection

Is 757-759 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 1908

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 1908
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 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 757-759 Minna St in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, built in 1908 and currently owned by Ko-ri Inc, has a documented history of fire safety compliance issues and recent maintenance activity. Most concerning is a currently open violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, representing the most recent fire safety compliance concern. The building has experienced recurring fire safety violations over the years, with multiple issues identified between 2017 and 2023 related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and combustible materials. A notable cluster of violations occurred in July 2003, when the building was cited for multiple fire safety and security issues including fire proofing repairs, egress obstructions, and self-closing device installation at exterior doors, all of which were subsequently abated by August 2003.

The property's maintenance history includes a reroofing project completed in 2014 costing $9,280. Recent activity on record for early 2025 indicates multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the building, though these were mostly closed with no work needed or insufficient information. The building has experienced several fire safety system activations over the years, though most have been unintentional (e.g., alarm system activations) and no civilian injuries have been reported in documented incidents. The property's documented fire safety compliance history shows a pattern of violations followed by prompt corrections, with the most recent violations as of 2022-2023 indicating ongoing attention needed to maintain proper fire safety systems.

Risk rating

How 757-759 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
64thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 155 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
