Rent & eviction protection

Is 212-214 Valencia 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.

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 property at 212-214 Valencia Street is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Paul & Jacqueline Nounou Fm. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most concerning events clustering between 2002-2008. Multiple permits were sought for stairway repairs in 2002-2003, with records indicating unauthorized work had been performed prior to proper permitting. Between 2003 and 2007, the building faced numerous housing violations, including issues with interior surfaces, fire safety (fire extinguishers, egress blockage), and security requirements, many of which were resolved by May 2007. Complaints regarding living conditions were documented, including reports of no heat, plumbing issues, pest infestations, and mold in 2007. A notable water drainage issue affecting neighboring property was reported in 2008, along with illegal short-term rental activity reported in 2016.

The building's systems have required regular attention, with multiple fire safety inspections between 2017-2022 indicating ongoing maintenance needs for sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers. More recent records from 2023-2024 show continuing concerns with building maintenance, particularly regarding exterior cleanliness and parking violations. The property has undergone some remediation over time, with several fire safety violations being abated, including smoke alarm, alarm system maintenance, and sprinkler service violations recorded in 2017. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to parking and street cleaning issues, suggesting ongoing challenges with adjacent property management and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 212-214 Valencia 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
67thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 264 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
