Rent & eviction protection

Is 141-143 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 1906
2 or more units
2 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 1906
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 141-143 Noe Street is a 3-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Bennett Graham. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most critical event being a substantial fire incident in April 2022 that caused significant damage to both units, particularly affecting front framing, roofs, and requiring water damage repairs throughout. Following the fire, major repair work was initiated in September 2022 with permits totaling $60,000 to address damage across multiple floors, including roof replacement, wall finishes, insulation, electrical work, and HVAC systems. The building previously underwent various improvements between 2018-2019, including bathroom enlargements, closet additions, fireplace installations, and skylight installations, with estimated costs of $55,000.

Recent activity includes ongoing electrical and plumbing work as of late 2024, focusing on new gas service lines, fireplace installations, and bathroom renovations. Multiple building violations have been recorded, including the 2022 fire damage violation (currently active) and several historical complaints about unpermitted remodeling work (2003-2014). The property has also experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by recent graffiti complaints (March 2024) and sidewalk parking issues reported between 2023-2024. The building underwent significant infrastructure upgrades, including electrical panel upgrades and EV charging installations in 2015, though many permits from previous years have expired. A notable series of code enforcement actions occurred in 2003 and 2014 regarding unpermitted construction and electrical work, though these have since been resolved. The property is currently in the process of addressing recent complaints about graffiti and sidewalk maintenance.

Risk rating

How 141-143 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
37thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 181 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
