Rent & eviction protection

Is 1466-1468 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 1923

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 1923
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 residential building at 1466-1468 Chestnut Street, owned by 1466 Chestnut Street LLC, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923 in the Marina neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant construction and safety compliance issues over the past decade. Most notably, there are two active complaints from May 2024 regarding weather protection and lead safety concerns. There has been a history of unauthorized and improperly permitted work, particularly in 2011, when non-compliant bedrooms, bathrooms, and utility rooms were constructed without proper permits. This led to multiple permits being filed to address violations, including a $30,000 seismic compliance permit in 2011. The building also experienced electrical safety issues in 2010-2014, with multiple violations related to unpermitted electrical work in kitchen and attic areas, resulting in an active violation notice until 2013 and completion of corrective actions in 2015.

Recent maintenance work includes a completed reroofing project in 2017 costing $21,000, installation of new skylights and roof hatch in 2010, and replacement of water heaters the same year. The property has undergone various inspections and permit processes to address both historical and recent concerns, including electrical system upgrades, plumbing improvements, and safety compliance measures. Street-level maintenance issues have been monitored through 311 calls, with recent reports in 2023 concerning waste removal and a historical complaint about sidewalk damage in 2016. The building's permit history shows a pattern of addressing violations through subsequent permits and inspections, though some historical compliance issues have taken time to resolve, particularly regarding unauthorized construction and electrical safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1466-1468 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
