Rent & eviction protection

Is 1865-1867 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 1947
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1947
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 1865-1867 Chestnut Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina District, built in 1947 and currently owned by Leslie A. Mangione. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with major work including a 2020 electrical and plumbing upgrade to 200-amp systems for both units, complete rewiring, insulation replacement in the garage, and bathroom renovations, followed by window replacements in 2023 and kitchen cabinet updates scheduled for December 2024. Historical maintenance records show consistent attention to roofing needs, with records from 1989, 1997, and most recently in 2022.

Recent issues of concern include an active building complaint filed on October 28, 2024, regarding construction work being performed without a posted permit, involving drywall and debris removal. The property has experienced various neighborhood challenges in 2024, including multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans, two incidents of graffiti (one being offensive) in January-October 2024, and some encampment-related issues in the vicinity. While these external issues are notable, the building's internal systems and infrastructure have received substantial attention and modernization over the past several years. It's worth noting that there have been two recorded fire incidents associated with the address, though neither involved civilian injuries or significant building damage.

Risk rating

How 1865-1867 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
79thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 207 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
