Rent & eviction protection

Is 4447 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 1902

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 1902
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 4447 23rd Street in Noe Valley, operated by 4447 23rd Street LLC, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1902. The property underwent significant renovations in 2010, including a substantial $100,000 improvement project that added new stairs between stories, remodeled two kitchens and bathrooms, installed new sliding glass doors, and completed a voluntary seismic upgrade worth $15,000 to reinforce the north and south elevations with new bridge beams, skylights, and window modifications. These improvements were accompanied by comprehensive updates to the building's systems, including the installation of two furnaces and air ducts, new plumbing infrastructure for multiple fixtures, and complete electrical system upgrades with separate metering for both units and house-wide improvements in 2010.

The building has had several maintenance and safety-related issues in recent years, with the most recent records showing a carbon monoxide incident, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property has experienced multiple tree-related incidents in 2024, including fallen trees and hanging limbs, along with ongoing noise complaints and public amenity maintenance issues like an overflowing garbage can. The building's maintenance history shows proper conversion of an illegal kitchen to a laundry room in 1995, and prior to recent issues, the property had met various code compliance requirements, including a 1983 permit for conforming to codes. While the building underwent extensive modernization in 2010, the recent spike in maintenance issues suggests potential challenges in ongoing property upkeep.

Risk rating

How 4447 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
91stpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 169 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
