Rent & eviction protection

Is 2734-2736 20Th 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 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 property at 2734-2736 20th Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing three residential units and ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by 725 York Street Partners LLC. The building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work between 2019-2021, including a new roof installation ($16,200), structural repairs to the kitchen wall and footings, and comprehensive electrical upgrades with multiple new sub-panels. Notable safety enhancements include the installation of an automatic fire suppression system and kitchen exhaust modifications in 2020. In late 2021, complaints were filed regarding unauthorized outdoor patio use and construction work, though these issues appear to be resolved through proper permitting processes.

The most recent building violations from July 2024 concern the lack of self-closing devices on exterior doors, which was subsequently abated by September 2024. Prior to this, there were no active violations since 2005, when unpermitted window installations were addressed. The property has received multiple noise-related complaints and compliance checks in 2024, primarily related to commercial operations, though these were found to be in compliance with permit conditions. Recent improvements include the installation of a seasonal fabric sunshade in the rear patio (2021) and various plumbing upgrades, including bathroom remodeling and ADA accessibility improvements. The building's history shows a pattern of proactive maintenance and modernization, though some past issues with unauthorized modifications and permit compliance have occurred, particularly during the 2021 period. The property is currently permitted for outdoor activity and amplified sound on its patio, with conditions to ensure it remains an open area rather than enclosed space.

Risk rating

How 2734-2736 20Th 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
