845 Noe St

Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights, SF 94114 3621086 4 units · 2 fl · 1960

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 845 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 1960
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1960
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

845 Noe Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Stephen H Shane Trust of 2000. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent notable work being a scheduled electrical system upgrade in January 2025, involving the installation of a new 200-amp 4-main meter pack for units and a house panel conversion to underground service. The building has received consistent maintenance and upgrades, including a recent shower remodel in Unit #1 in 2022, replacement of south side siding in 2022, and a comprehensive kitchen remodel in Apartment #4 in 2015.

The building's infrastructure has seen important modernization efforts, particularly in electrical systems, with major upgrades completed in 2004-2009 including underground service conversion, installation of sub panels, and relocation of the circuit breaker panel. The property has maintained good standing with housing inspections, with only routine inspections recorded in 2000, 2007, and 2011, and no violations found during these assessments. All recent building permits have been completed successfully, showing regular investment in property maintenance and improvements, with particular attention paid to both interior unit upgrades and exterior building maintenance. The only reported incident related to the property was a parking-related complaint in 2021, which was resolved by the responding officer.

Risk rating

How 845 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
39thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 780 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.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
