Rent & eviction protection

Is 136-144 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.

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 9-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 136-144 Noe Street in the Duboce Triangle, owned by Ceibo 11 LLC and constructed in 1900, has a significant history of recent construction activity and current building violations. Most notably, there are active complaints from November 2024 regarding unauthorized kitchen and bathroom remodeling work, with associated drywall replacement in hallways and bedrooms. These unauthorized modifications have triggered an active violation case (202431292) and required subsequent permit application (#202412207203) with a proposed scope of work including removal of non-load bearing partitions, kitchen remodeling, and bathroom additions. The building has also faced several safety and maintenance issues in 2023-2024, including violations related to fire escape maintenance, gas shutoff tool requirements, and various fire safety compliance filings, all of which remain active.

The property has undergone substantial interior improvements over the past decade, with multiple completed renovation projects between 2015-2017 costing between $60,000 and $200,000, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work. Historical issues include a pattern of water-related problems in the 1990s, with complaints about roof leaks and flooding, as well as more recent fire safety concerns in 2022 regarding combustible materials and blocked exits (both of which were corrected). The building's recent construction work has generated multiple tenant complaints about noise and lack of proper notice to residents (November 2024), and there were two significant tenant buyouts in 2016 and 2018, though no buyouts are recorded for 144 Noe Street. The property has received multiple 311 calls in 2023-2025 related to garbage, construction noise, and a sewer service request, indicating ongoing maintenance and management challenges.

Risk rating

How 136-144 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
11thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 255 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
