Rent & eviction protection

Is 385-389 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 1904

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 1904
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 385-389 Noe Street, managed by Bohnert Family Trust, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over its history, including two furnace replacements in 2016 and 2018, and a roof replacement in 2005. A notable safety incident occurred in 2000 when an egress obstruction at the rear stairs was reported and promptly addressed within two months. The building's structural integrity was previously addressed in 1990 with repairs to dry rot in the rear stair components, indicating attention to maintenance of critical building elements.

The surrounding area has experienced various street and sidewalk issues in recent months, with multiple reports of garbage and debris (seven incidents between June 2024 and August 2024), hazardous materials (glass) in December 2023 and February 2024, and one illegal posting incident in March 2024. A tree maintenance issue was reported in September 2024, and there is currently one open parking enforcement issue from October 2024. Two routine housing inspections were conducted in 2000 and 2011, with no active violations noted in recent years. The most recent records suggest ongoing challenges with street maintenance and urban upkeep in the immediate vicinity of the building, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's maintenace record.

Risk rating

How 385-389 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
53rdpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 601 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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