Rent & eviction protection

Is 1461-1463 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 1925
2 or more units
2 units

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 1925
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 1461-1463 Chestnut Street in San Francisco's Marina district is a 1925 flats and duplex structure currently owned by Sandra L Travaglino Lvg Tru. The property has undergone substantial recent renovations, with the most significant current project being the ongoing conversion of ground floor storage to a family room with new bathroom facilities, windows, and mechanical systems at a cost of $86,960, initiated in April 2024. In 2023-2024, the building's decks received attention to address permit compliance, with work being completed to reconstruct two 66-square foot decks on two levels, including safety improvements and proper attachment to the building, following a variance approval to legalize their rear yard encroachment.

The building has seen comprehensive interior improvements in recent years, including a major renovation in 2021 (costing $82,000) that involved bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facility updates in both units. Documentation shows proper permitting of electrical work (installation of 20 lights, 10 switches, receptacles, and fans) and plumbing work (including bathroom installations and furnace replacements) completed or properly revised through 2024. The property has maintained compliance with safety standards, as evidenced by recent permits focusing on code compliance. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property and surrounding area between 2016 and 2024, these primarily involved street-related issues (parking, sidewalk cleaning) rather than building-specific concerns, and most cases were resolved promptly through normal city channels.

Risk rating

How 1461-1463 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
98thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 20 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.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.
