Rent & eviction protection

Is 344-346 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 1900
2 or more units

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 property at 344-346 Noe Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1900. Most recently, in June 2023, the building underwent a water heater replacement in the garage, and in 2022, significant changes were implemented including a condo conversion (CC-8521) affecting both units, with associated electrical, plumbing, and other improvements totaling $20,000. The year 2022 marked a pivotal period for the property, with multiple permits issued to comply with physical inspection report CC-8521, including two separate permits totaling $20,000, and a controversial request to correct the record from a two-family dwelling classification to a single-family dwelling designation. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic systems, including a furnace replacement in 2018, and past structural concerns were addressed through termite control and foundation repairs in 2002.

The property's permit history reveals regular maintenance and upgrades, including earlier improvements in 2002 such as kitchen renovations and an unsuccessful roofing permit attempt. The building's recent history demonstrates compliance with city inspections and modernization efforts, particularly through the 2022 condo conversion process. While there have been some neighborhood issues recorded through 311 calls, such as general cleaning needs and a graffiti report from 2018 and 2017 respectively, these were external to the building itself and were resolved through normal municipal channels. The property's planning record shows that the condo conversion application was approved, completing a significant transformation of the building's legal status and unit configuration.

Risk rating

How 344-346 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 217 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
