Rent & eviction protection

Is 1000 Chestnut 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 1955
2 or more units

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.

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 14-story, 84-unit residential building at 1000 Chestnut Street in Russian Hill, owned by Trinity G2 Holding LLC and constructed in 1955, has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received substantial fire safety improvements, including the installation of 192 speakers and additional fire alarm components to enhance system audibility, with similar work continuing into 2024 through electrical and plumbing permits. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including a reroofing project completed in 2018 costing $92,000 and various plumbing repairs between 2014-2025, such as shower valve installations and mechanical room piping repairs.

The property has experienced multiple fire safety inspections and violations over the past decade, with the most recent inspection in November 2023 highlighting issues with the fire escape drop ladder and required permits. A pattern of fire code violations can be observed between 2015 and 2024, including problems with the sprinkler system, alarm systems, and various safety equipment. The building has also faced plumbing and maintenance challenges, particularly between 2012-2014, with multiple complaints regarding unpermitted work, water leaks, and repair notification issues. Recent tenant complaints from September 2023 document concerns about heating system noise. While many historical violations have been abated, the building maintains an open violation regarding highrise sprinkler system compliance as of December 2024. The property has experienced several emergency responses from the fire department, primarily for medical assistance and elevator rescues, with no fire-related injuries or incidents recorded.

Risk rating

How 1000 Chestnut 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
0thpercentile
