Rent & eviction protection

Is 338-340 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 1909

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 1909
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-unit residential building at 338-340 Noe Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a 2-story flats/duplex structure built in 1909 and currently owned by the Kelly D Wallace Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance works over the years, including a complete re-roofing in 2010 (cost: $13,880), bathroom remodeling in 1995, and earthquake repairs in 1991. Notable improvements include multiple window replacements in 2005 (cost: $12,300) and various interior repairs in 2010 addressing issues such as fireplace tiles, window panes, doors, and drywall. Three concerning building complaints were filed in 2019-2020, including reports of hearing landlord communications over some sort of intercom system, and a possible chemical/s sewage smell in 2020, though these complaints are no longer active. A 1996 complaint regarding unauthorized bed and breakfast conversion was filed but quickly resolved.

The property has recently experienced multiple parking enforcement incidents, with six documented cases of driveway blocking between June and October 2023, all resulting in citations being issued. There are also two open urban forestry issues from 2024 regarding tree damage and a dead tree. Historical records show the building underwent significant work in the early 1990s, including stairway replacement and violation removal, with some earlier permits from the 1980s (horizontal addition and front mudsill repairs) having expired without completion. The most recent building activity appears to be primarily related to routine maintenance and addressing tenant-related issues rather than major structural changes or improvements.

Risk rating

How 338-340 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
26thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 946 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
