Rent & eviction protection

Is 280-284 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 1900

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.

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 property at 280-284 Noe Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Mahmood Ghazi 1994 Trust. The building has undergone several commercial transitions since 2012, with significant changes occurring during late 2012 when retail spaces were converted and improved, including electrical upgrades with the installation of T-5 fluorescent lighting and numerous receptacles. In recent years, the property has experienced multiple compliance issues, most notably regarding unauthorized modifications. A patio roof construction without proper permits filed in December 2020 remains an active violation as of October 2023. Jeffrey's Natural Pet Foods, a prominent tenant, has generated multiple complaints and concerns, particularly regarding unauthorized classes on their patio and the installation of an unpermitted sign, though recent inquiries suggest these classes may have expanded into a kennel operation requiring special permits under current zoning regulations.

The building's recent history shows some maintenance and compliance challenges, including multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding graffiti, garbage, and property damage issues, with several cases being resolved or logged as open. The property has experienced periodic emergency service calls, including medical assists and false alarms, though none resulted in civilian injuries. A notable concentration of fire-related complaints occurred between 2020-2022, primarily related to Shared Spaces and various violations, with some cases being classified as duplicates or deferred. Historical records from the 1980s show earlier structural work including siding repairs and partition removals, while the 2020s have seen ongoing concerns about unauthorized modifications and compliance with current zoning regulations.

Risk rating

How 280-284 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
14thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 247 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
