Rent & eviction protection

Is 1636 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 1935
2 or more units

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.

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 1636 Noriega Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood is a 2-story flat and store structure built in 1935, currently owned by Justin L. Tin and Siu Wan Chan. The property has seen several significant improvements over the years, including a complete re-roofing project in 2019 costing $26,500, a horizontal addition completed in 1997, and the installation of aluminum windows in 1989. In 2019, a formal address modification was processed, changing the building's designation from 1636B to 1636A Noriega Street. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to infrastructure improvements, though no major renovations have been recorded in recent years since the 2019 roofing project.

The property's external environment has required regular maintenance attention, particularly regarding tree care and street cleaning. Multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024 indicate ongoing tree maintenance needs, including issues with overgrown trees near communication lines. The city has acknowledged these concerns through its StreetTreeSF program, which aims to prioritize tree care based on condition and public safety. There have been several reports of street cleaning needs, primarily related to loose garbage, which have all been resolved. Two sewer-related incidents were reported and addressed in January 2022. The property has not had any major safety incidents or code violations on record, though it is worth noting a parking enforcement request from 2021 that was unable to be acted upon due to an officer's inability to locate the vehicle in question.

Risk rating

How 1636 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 627 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
