Rent & eviction protection

Is 750 27Th 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 1939

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 1939
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 750 27th Street in Noe Valley is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1939, currently owned by James A. Collins and Jeffrey Parker, containing two units. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past three decades, including the 2013-2014 conversion of space into a new one-bedroom unit with modern amenities, complete with a new hydronic heating system, lighting, windows, and doors, at a cost of $100,000. More recent improvements include the installation of a non-combustible metal gate in 2020 and the addition of 18 roof-mounted solar PV modules in 2013. The building's infrastructure has received attention with the installation of a 410-gallon rainwater harvesting system in 2011.

Maintenance and safety records show periodic updates to individual units, including bathroom remodels in 2005 and 2006, and documented electrical and plumbing work to support building improvements. Of particular concern are recent sewer issues, with two reported sewage back-up discharge incidents from side sewer vents in December 2024 and January 2025. The building has experienced relatively few emergency incidents, with fire department responses primarily for system activations or non-emergency situations, and there have been no documented fire-related injuries. A conditional use authorization was previously approved to add a second dwelling unit at the ground level, requiring a variance from parking requirements. The property's recent history includes several parking-related enforcement actions and a water leak incident in November 2024, though these appear to be infrastructure maintenance issues rather than indications of systemic problems.

Risk rating

How 750 27Th 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
80thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 376 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
