Rent & eviction protection

Is 4151-4153 23Rd 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 1927

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.

Built 1927
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 2-unit residential building at 4151-4153 23rd Street in Noe Valley, owned by Andrew Lee, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since 2011. Most recently, in March 2024, the property completed the installation of retrofit wood clad windows in the living rooms, representing a significant energy efficiency upgrade with a U-factor below 0.30. The building has also seen substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades in early 2024, including the installation of an air gap for the kitchen sink, expansion tank installation, tankless water heater inspections, dryer vent replacement, and new sump pump installation. Electrical work has included the separation of electrical systems between the two units in 2022 and compliance upgrades related to grounding systems and GFCI installations in late 2023.

The property has undergone various safety and code compliance updates, including a physical inspection in September 2023 that required multiple repairs and upgrades to address inspection findings. Historical records show the building was officially documented as a 2-unit residence in September 2022, and there have been multiple tree-related issues affecting the property, particularly in 2024, with reports of tree roots lifting the sidewalk. The building has maintained good safety record with only one recorded smoke detector activation incident and no residence injuries. Previous maintenance issues, such as streetlight outages in 2011 and various animal control requests, have been resolved. The property underwent some condominium conversion planning processes, which were ultimately approved, indicating compliance with city regulations.

Risk rating

How 4151-4153 23Rd 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
98thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 38 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
