Rent & eviction protection

Is 333-345 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 1906

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 1906
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

This three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located at 333-345 Chestnut Street in Telegraph Hill was built in 1906 and is currently owned by Wolfgang & Helene J Schulz. The building underwent significant electrical and safety upgrades in the early 2000s, including a complete rewiring project in 2005-2006 that involved installing new circuits, panels, and electrical systems for all units and common areas, as well as addressing fire damage to branch wiring. In addition to electrical work, major improvements were made in 2005, including the installation of a garage sprinkler system, upgrading electrical and plumbing systems in five units, and various unit modifications.

The building experienced notable issues in 2017, when multiple violations were documented related to mold, water damage, and wall/ceiling concerns, though these were all abated by June 2017. Earlier complaints from 2006 regarding window conditions were also resolved. More recently, there have been several parking-related incidents and noise complaints recorded through 311 calls in 2024, particularly regarding blocked driveways and excessive noise, though most parking cases were found invalid due to incomplete reporting information, while a significant noise event was associated with a nearby major event venue. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and prompt addressing of major issues when they have arisen, though the recent noise and parking complaints suggest ongoing challenges in these areas.

Risk rating

How 333-345 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
21stpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 540 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
