Rent & eviction protection

Is 2335-2339 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

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

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 2335-2339 Chestnut Street property is a 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, with ground-floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably achieving compliance with San Francisco's soft-story seismic retrofit program in 2017 at a cost of $68,000 for residential and $15,000 for commercial portions. Accessibility upgrades were completed in 2017 with an $18,000 renovation to the entrance door and bathroom. Multiple street space permits were issued in 2018-2019, and more recent work includes plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2019.

The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance challenges, including a 2023 complaint regarding heating, electrical, and plumbing issues, and a 2020 complaint about unauthorized modifications to the commercial space, including the installation of safety gates and a pull-down metal door. There was also a notable incident in 2019 involving the temporary operation of a hair salon in a residential unit during seismic retrofit work, which led to a violation citation. The property has a history of fire safety concerns, with violations in 2000-2006 related to fire alarm system certification and fire extinguisher maintenance, though these were subsequently abated. The building's mechanical systems have triggered multiple fire alarm activations over the years, though no actual fires have occurred, and the property has been consistently monitored for compliance with safety regulations. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as garbage management and graffiti on the commercial portion of the building.

Risk rating

How 2335-2339 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
28thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 711 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
