Rent & eviction protection

Is 1380-1382 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.

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 property at 1380-1382 Chestnut Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood. Built in 1922, this flats and duplex structure has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly focusing on safety systems and modernization. Most notably, as of September 2024, the building is installing a comprehensive new fire alarm system ($21,607) and has already implemented a new fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor ($18,865) in early 2024. The building has received substantial electrical upgrades, including the installation of a new 400-amp main service and four circuit breaker panels in 2022, and complete rewiring of various units in 2023-2024.

Recent maintenance and improvements include various plumbing upgrades completed in 2023-2024, such as new radiant wall heaters, tankless water heater installation, and comprehensive bathroom and kitchen renovations. The property has undergone some remedial work in 2024 related to building violations, specifically addressing lead abatement procedures and weather protection requirements, which were successfully abated by October 2024. Historical records show earlier improvements including reroofing work in 1990 and interior remodeling in 2020. While there have been multiple reports of vehicles blocking the driveway and street spaces around the property from 2022-2024, these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition. The only recorded fire-related incident was a carbon monoxide detector activation with no actual CO detected.

Risk rating

How 1380-1382 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
57thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 425 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
