930 Elizabeth St

Noe Valley, SF 94114 2807012 5 units · 2 fl · 1960

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 930 Elizabeth 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 1960
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1960
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-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 930 Elizabeth Street in Noe Valley, owned by William John and Elma Gulland, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1960. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $45,000, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Between 2014 and 2015, substantial upgrades were performed in Units 2 and 4, including kitchen and bathroom remodels with comprehensive electrical and plumbing work, though there was one complaint in October 2014 regarding unauthorized work in Unit 1 and permit scope violations. The building has had multiple maintenance issues addressed over the years, including dry rot repairs in 2000, 2012, and most significantly in 1986 when all dry rot and termite damage was repaired. Other improvements include window replacements in 2001 (with vinyl double-glazed units), re-roofing in 2000, and earlier repairs to stucco and bathroom framing.

The building experienced some safety and maintenance concerns in its history, including a cluster of violations in 2001 related to the fire escape ladder and central alarm system, which were all abated by July 2001. A recent water leak was reported in October 2024, though this was not directly related to the building's structural systems. The property has also been the subject of multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity during 2024, indicating some external parking challenges in the area. A rent board request in December 2023 confirmed a rental fee exemption approval for Unit 2, and the building's short-term rental status was resolved as "Closed - Abated." While the building has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, most have been promptly addressed, and the completed seismic retrofitting represents a significant safety improvement.

Risk rating

How 930 Elizabeth 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1090 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
