Rent & eviction protection

Is 510-512 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.

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 4-unit, 3-story apartment building at 510-512 Noe Street, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant modifications over its history, with the most substantial being a garage conversion in 1986 that required raising the building by approximately 3 feet. Recent maintenance includes the replacement of underground fire service piping due to rust and leakage in 2008, along with various building improvements such as reroofing in 2002 and street space permits in 2017. The building experienced a notable set of safety violations in September 2006 during a routine inspection, which identified multiple fire safety concerns including the need to recharge fire extinguishers, repair open ceilings in the garage area, and install smoke detectors at stairwells; these violations were all abated by November 2006.

The property has seen four documented housing inspections since 1997, with the most recent violations in 2006 being the only active issues on record. More recent history shows improvements in maintenance and safety compliance, with no building violations reported since 2006. The building's fire safety systems appear to have been generally well-maintained, with only one documented fire incident (a malfunctioning smoke detector in 2008) and no civilian injuries recorded in any fire-related events. The area surrounding the building has experienced various urban challenges typical of San Francisco, including recent reports of curb defects, sidewalk issues, and encampments in the vicinity, as documented through 311 calls between 2021 and 2024. While these external factors don't directly affect the building's internal conditions, they provide context about the neighborhood environment.

Risk rating

How 510-512 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 895 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Moderate concern 20.9%
Severe concern 32.4%
