Rent & eviction protection

Is 721-725 Randolph 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 1947

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 1947
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 721-725 Randolph Street is a three-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1947 and containing three residential units. The building's electrical system was upgraded in 2006 with the installation of a 200-amp single-phase underground service in accordance with underground district requirements. The building has faced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, most notably a serious sewer problem in 2005 that was classified as an unsanitary condition and health hazard, which was eventually abated in March 2005. Between 2005-2006, the property encountered multiple violations including unaddressed issues with garbage, appliance repairs, and security concerns such as the need for primary locking devices on exterior doors.

More recent history shows recurring problems with the commercial storefront component of the building, with violations documented in 2019 and 2020 related to failure to comply with vacant storefront ordinances, which were addressed by August 2019. In 2022, there was another citation regarding a vacant commercial storefront, though its resolution status is unclear in the current records. The building's exterior areas have been the subject of multiple municipal cleaning requests between 2019-2023, though these were primarily for street and sidewalk maintenance rather than internal building issues. A sewage backup incident was reported and resolved in 2009, providing additional context to the building's historical plumbing challenges. While many of the violations from the mid-2000s have been resolved, the pattern of vacant commercial storefront issues and periodic cleaning complaints suggests ongoing management challenges, particularly regarding the commercial portion of the property.

Risk rating

How 721-725 Randolph 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
15thpercentile

Out of 45 buildings in this neighborhood, 38 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
