Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1739-1741 Newhall 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 1931

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 1931
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

This two-unit residential building, located at 1739-1741 Newhall Street in the Bayview neighborhood, was built in 1931 and is currently owned by Blanca Giron. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues in recent years. Between 2005-2006, substantial improvements were made including basement development ($75,771), comprehensive electrical upgrades, and window repairs, while later improvements in 2013 focused on bathroom ceiling repairs and outdoor lighting. The building has experienced persistent challenges with unauthorized construction and code compliance, most notably in 2014-2015, when violations were filed regarding an unauthorized foundation/retaining wall and possible illegal kitchen in the lower unit, leading to active abatement proceedings. This case was referred to the City Attorney with a hearing date scheduled for March 2018. The property has also seen multiple gas meter relocations between 2009-2013, with the final work completed in April 2013.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the property, though many of these were resolved without requiring further action. The building's history shows a pattern of improvements spanning from 2005 to 2013, including bathroom renovations, electrical system upgrades, and plumbing modifications, though some permits were either expired or cancelled. The most pressing ongoing concern appears to be the unresolved building violations from 2014-2015 regarding unauthorized construction and potential illegal unit configurations, which have persisted despite various enforcement actions and notifications.

Risk rating

How 1739-1741 Newhall 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
78thpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 84 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
