Rent & eviction protection

Is 25-27 Chabot Ter 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 1946
2 or more 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 1946
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 25-27 Chabot Terrace, owned by the University of San Francisco, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1946. Most recently, in 2021, substantial structural improvements were made including the addition of seismic retrofitting features such as moment frames and releveling of floor framing, with this $75,000 project addressing important safety considerations. In 2013, a major interior renovation was completed involving the full demolition and replacement of two kitchens and bathrooms, along with electrical and plumbing upgrades to current codes, for which comprehensive permits were issued covering various aspects of the work including new fixtures, cabinetry, and countertops. Earlier maintenance work included reroofing in 2009 ($17,250) and repairs to address stucco and dry rot issues in 2007 ($15,000).

The building's most recent history shows no major safety incidents, though there was one fire system malfunction recorded with no civilian injuries. The property has had regular maintenance and incident response through the 311 system, with service calls primarily relating to external issues such as street cleaning (including missed mechanical sweeping in November 2023), graffiti removal, and sign maintenance. While the building itself has received proper attention through its permits and renovations, the surrounding area has experienced typical urban neighborhood issues such as illegal postings, graffiti, and transportation-related concerns, all of which have generally been addressed and resolved by appropriate city departments.

Risk rating

How 25-27 Chabot Ter'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
93rdpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 36 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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.
