Rent & eviction protection

Is 320 Church 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 1956
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 320 Church Street, owned by Craig & Letitia Casebeer Lv, consists of 4 units and was constructed in 1956 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, including multiple roofing projects (1995, 1989, and most recently in 2015 costing $7,800), plumbing updates including a gas line replacement in 2009, and notably, substantial repairs in 2016 addressing multiple safety violations. The 2016 routine safety inspection revealed several issues that were subsequently corrected, including the installation of required handrails on staircases, removal of egress obstructions, installation of carbon monoxide detectors, and other safety-related improvements, which were all abated by September 20, 2016. A cancelled electrical permit from 2016 indicates a planned dryer outlet installation that was not completed.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with additional work performed in 2016 involving concrete and stucco repairs to bay windows and porches. While there have been some complaints and violations in the past, most have been promptly addressed, including a 2002 incident regarding unpermitted renovation work during termite treatment. Recent history shows primarily external issues, including an ongoing graffiti situation in late 2024 and 2023, and some plumbing-related concerns such as a sewage backup in 2022. The property has maintained mostly good standing since resolving the 2016 safety violations, with no active building violations on record as of now.

Risk rating

How 320 Church 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
49thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 652 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
