Rent & eviction protection

Is 1190-1192 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 1940
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1940
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 two-unit multi-family residential building at 1190-1192 Chestnut Street in Russian Hill, owned by Robert F & Louise M Redmond, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1940. The most recent major maintenance work was completed in 2013, including stucco repairs, patio tile replacement, and reroofing, totaling approximately $33,000 in improvements. The building previously experienced water damage issues, particularly in 2009 when repairs were made to approximately 200 square feet of stucco and building paper at unit 1190, though this permit expired before completion. The property has a history of substantial kitchen remodels, with two separate projects in 2004 (totaling approximately $53,000) that included complete kitchen renovations in both units, with associated electrical rewiring work. Earlier improvements included window replacements in 2000, with all six windows being replaced "size for size."

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved street-level maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 related to garbage and debris, including paint spills, accident debris, and abandoned furniture, though most of these cases were resolved or marked as "Unable to Locate." There have been no recorded fire incidents related to the building itself, with only two unrelated incidents noted: a vehicle accident cleanup and a carbon monoxide detector activation with no CO detected. The property's building permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements over the years, with particular attention paid to water damage remediation and interior updates, while the surrounding area has experienced typical urban service calls related to street maintenance and parking enforcement.

Risk rating

How 1190-1192 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
95thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 57 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
