Rent & eviction protection

Is 769-771 Tehama 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1910
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 769-771 Tehama Street property, owned by City Life Apartments LLC, is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910 in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over its history. Most notably, between 2015-2019, substantial improvements were made including the addition of a fifth unit with roof deck, comprehensive remodeling of all units, and installation of new fire safety systems including sprinklers and alarms, with a total investment exceeding $600,000. These improvements were prompted by various notices of violation (NOVs) issued in 2011-2013, which cited unauthorized construction and safety concerns such as unapproved sleeping rooms, inadequate heating systems, and electrical violations.

Recent concerns include multiple water-related issues, with complaints in early 2023 about leakage and water damage, and more recently in late 2023 regarding safety concerns with handrails at the entrance. The building experienced a period of significant compliance scrutiny between 2011 and 2016, with multiple violations related to unauthorized unit modifications and safety standards, though these were eventually resolved through the major renovations completed in 2019. Three fire incidents have been recorded at the property, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and no active fire safety violations are currently on record. The building has undergone various systems upgrades in recent years, including new HVAC systems for all units, comprehensive unit remodeling, and updated fire safety systems, though some plumbing and electrical permits from 2019 remain marked as expired in the records.

Risk rating

How 769-771 Tehama 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
26thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 318 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
