Rent & eviction protection

Is 73-75 Noe 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 1900
2 or more units

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 1900
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 multi-family residential building at 73-75 Noe Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by the West Family Bypass C Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The 3-unit apartment building has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the past decades, including a reroofing project in 2010 costing $5,300, plumbing upgrades in 2011-2012 involving water main relay and sewer house trap work, and a gas meter relocation in 2008. Safety improvements were undertaken in 1985 with the installation of handrails for front and rear stairs.

Recent years have seen concerning maintenance issues, including a significant water damage incident reported in January 2023 involving black mold, water damage, and paint issues, followed by a more recent concern in November 2024 regarding rotting wood in the fire escape exterior staircase. The building has a history of compliance-related matters, with a 2000 violation regarding egress obstruction at rear stairs that was resolved, and more recently, violations filed in late 2024 concerning a compliance affidavit requirement that were abated in January 2025. The property has maintained its basic infrastructure, as evidenced by completed plumbing work and multiple roofing projects, but the recent pattern of water-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 73-75 Noe 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
24thpercentile
