Rent & eviction protection

Is 315 Grand View Ave 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 1971
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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 1971
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

315 Grand View Ave is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, containing 5 units and built in 1971. The building has undergone several significant improvements and modifications in recent years, with the most notable being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing nearly $30,000 to comply with fire code requirements. In 2022-2023, substantial interior improvements were made to Unit #4, and efforts were undertaken to legalize a previously non-permitted second-floor unit, including kitchen and bathroom modifications. Historical records show recurring issues with deck maintenance, with dry rot repairs performed in 2016 affecting four decks, and similar problems documented in 1994. The building's history includes one significant compliance action in 1991 when an order of abatement was issued regarding the number of units, though this appears to have been resolved.

The property has experienced several fire safety-related incidents, including multiple alarm activations (generally due to malfunction), a gas leak incident, and a few water-related issues, though notably, none resulted in civilian injuries. A cluster of violations was recorded in 2011 regarding combustible storage, egress obstructions, and sanitation issues, all of which were abated within a month. More recent concerns have centered around exterior maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding graffiti and debris around the property, particularly in the garage area. Current planning records indicate proposed development of additional living units (ADUs), including conversion of ground floor storage and construction of a new two-story structure in the rear yard, which could significantly increase the property's unit count and density if approved.

Risk rating

How 315 Grand View Ave'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
47thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 996 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
