Rent & eviction protection

Is 72-74 Park 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 1907
2 or more units
? units
Property type

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1907
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 two-story multi-family residential building at 72-74 Park Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Matthew Lee, is a century-old structure built in 1907, classified as a flats and duplex. The building's maintenance history shows two significant permitted improvements: window replacements in 2005, where five windows were upgraded from wood to wood composite ($5,000), and complete reroofing work performed in 2000 costing $5,600. Recent maintenance concerns include a flooding incident in 2019 affecting the property, though this was resolved through PUC Sewer Operations. The building's environment has been impacted by several street-related issues, particularly in recent years, with the most concerning being two flooding incidents in 2019 (resolved), a hazardous materials incident involving a significant paint spill in 2019 (resolved), and multiple parking enforcement cases between 2022-2024 involving various vehicles illegally parking, blocking driveways, or abandoned.

The property's permit history suggests regular maintenance, though the window replacement permit issued in 2005 appears to have expired without record of completion. The street outside the property has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles and illegal parking, particularly between 2016 and 2024, with multiple cases being reported and addressed by parking enforcement. While these exterior issues have been consistently resolved by city agencies, they indicate ongoing challenges with street parking and vehicle management in the immediate vicinity of the building. The lack of recorded tenant buyouts at either address suggests stability in occupancy, though this data may not reflect current conditions accurately.

Risk rating

How 72-74 Park 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
51stpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 625 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
