Rent & eviction protection

Is 727 Madrid 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 1910

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 property at 727 Madrid Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by the Trust of Mary Ann Angel. The building has undergone significant renovations and repairs over recent years, with the most recent work focused on windows, doors, and electrical systems. In 2023, permits were issued for the replacement of entry doors and completion of previously approved work, along with electrical upgrades including a 200-amp service installation. Notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding unauthorized construction work, particularly concerning a rear deck structure, with several complaints filed between 2022 and 2023 about work done without proper permits and in potentially unsafe conditions. These issues appear to remain unresolved, with some permits showing as expired or reinstated. The building has also undergone substantial interior improvements in previous years, including plumbing and electrical upgrades, window replacements, and deck construction, with some work initially requiring correction of violations. Historical violations from 2018 included multiple interior surface issues, such as mold/mildew on walls, damaged walls, and problems with plumbing fixtures, though these were abated by May 2019. The property has one fire complaint from February 2021 regarding an open vacant building status, which was referred to DBI and closed within two weeks. Recent maintenance issues have included sidewalk and street cleaning concerns, plumbing work, and various building system upgrades, suggesting ongoing property improvements despite the challenges with unauthorized construction work.

Risk rating

How 727 Madrid 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 330 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
