Rent & eviction protection

Is 1800 Noriega 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 1932
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1932
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 1800 Noriega Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1932 in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, containing two residential units and commercial space, currently owned by Lkrw LLC. The building has undergone significant improvements and modifications over the past several years, with the most recent major work completed in 2023 involving the installation of a new HVAC system including four wall-mounted indoor coils, cooling components, and bathroom ventilation improvements. Between 2020-2021, substantial upgrades were performed including a 400-amp service upgrade, complete window replacements on both floors, roof repairs, stucco replacement, and plumbing renovations for both residential and commercial spaces. A notable recent concern is an active building complaint filed in June 2023 regarding a vacant commercial space, which remains unresolved as of now.

The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues through various permits and improvements, including bathroom remodels, laundry room additions, and commercial space conversions. Several permits related to plumbing and electrical systems were processed between 2020-2023, indicating ongoing infrastructure improvements. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to upkeep, including addressing dry rot and performing roof work, though there have been some permit expirations and revisions required, such as the 2022 HVAC permit that expired and needed reapplication. Recent 311 calls (2024-2025) have primarily related to street cleanup and maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building rather than directly impacting the property itself, with most cases being resolved without necessary work being identified.

Risk rating

How 1800 Noriega 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
14thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 700 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
