Rent & eviction protection

Is 61-63 Chattanooga 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 1905
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 1905
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 61-63 Chattanooga Street, a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years under the ownership of Yolanda R Francisco 2018 LV. Most notably, the building underwent a substantial remodel in 2020-2021 that involved relocating the second-floor unit to the first floor, merging the second and third floors, and modifying windows and doors, with an estimated cost of $376,448. This renovation included comprehensive updates to both units, featuring new bathrooms, kitchens, washer-dryer installations, and a tankless water heater. The building has also received important safety and infrastructure improvements, including the complete reconstruction of the brick guardrail and main entry stair due to structural failure in 2022 (cost: $12,000), a new furnace and ductwork installation in 2022, and electrical system upgrades including grounding and a 200-amp service upgrade in 2013.

The property's maintenance record indicates regular attention to essential systems, with multiple plumbing updates between 2010-2022, including water line replacement and various unit-specific improvements. While the building has had several parking-related complaints in recent years (2024-2025) regarding sidewalk parking, these issues are external to the property itself. Historical records also show some minor neighborhood concerns from 2010-2011 regarding waste management, which have since been resolved. The most recent building permits and planning records confirm the successful completion of all major work, including the brick guardrail repairs and the comprehensive unit remodeling project, demonstrating active management and maintenance of the property.

Risk rating

How 61-63 Chattanooga 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
96thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 51 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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