Rent & eviction protection

Is 443-453 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 1907

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
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 443-453 Chestnut Street in North Beach, owned by Olga M Dianda Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1907 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial renovations occurring between 2006 and 2016, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels (2012-2016), plumbing system upgrades (2016), and the installation of new heating systems (2011). Despite these improvements, there are some concerning outstanding issues: as of December 2015, there were active violations related to fire safety equipment that remain unresolved, including fire extinguisher maintenance and the need for updated carbon monoxide/smoke alarm documentation.

Recent months have seen persistent issues with parking enforcement in the area, with ten documented cases of driveway blocking between June and December 2024, resulting in multiple citations being issued to vehicles in violation. While these parking issues are not directly related to the building's condition, they may indicate ongoing challenges with street access. The building has a history of routine inspections, with the most recent active complaint from December 2015 regarding fire safety violations, and earlier complaints in 2005 related to smoke detectors and emergency exits that were marked as resolved. The property has undergone various structural and cosmetic improvements over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and exterior maintenance, though some permits from 2006 and 1993 show as expired and repairs to a rear structure were completed in 1989.

Risk rating

How 443-453 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
67thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 119 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
