Rent & eviction protection

Is 2435-2437 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 1924

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 1924
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 2435-2437 Chestnut Street in the Marina neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Garibaldi Shahin. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent significant work including a sewer line and house trap replacement completed in 2017, and various street space permits issued between 2007-2017. The building has a documented history of unauthorized plumbing work in April 2002, though this violation was resolved within two weeks. During the early 2000s, multiple renovation projects were attempted, including kitchen remodeling, window replacements, bathroom tiling, and garage door updates, though most of these permits expired without completion.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple complaints about blocked driveways and waste management violations in 2023-2024. Between July 2023 and December 2024, there have been several parking enforcement actions resulting in citations for blocked driveways. The property experienced some shared space health violations and waste management issues in mid-2024, with one case being fully abated. There was also one noise complaint recorded in August 2023. A tenant buyout occurred in January 2020 for the unit at 2437 Chestnut Street, involving four tenants and a payment of $42,000. The only fire-related incident on record involved a system malfunction, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 2435-2437 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
63rdpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 366 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
