Rent & eviction protection

Is 943 Sanchez 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 1924
2 or more units

Property type

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 1924
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 two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 943 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley was constructed in 1924 and is currently owned by the Thomas Richard Juhl 2008 Trust. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2004 at a cost of $11,000, underpinning work in the same year to reinforce the existing concrete grade beam, and a major renovation in 1987 that involved replacing both the brick facade and stucco exterior. More recently, in April 2019, a street space permit was issued with a nominal cost of $1.

The property has experienced some maintenance and service issues in recent years, particularly relating to water and sewer systems. In June 2019, there were two separate incidents involving water issues - a general service request and a water leak that required attention from SFPUC Field Services. The most recent incident, from January 2024, involved the removal of offensive graffiti from the sidewalk in front of the property. Other external incidents include a sidewalk parking violation in July 2023 that resulted in a citation for the offending vehicle, and three water-related service requests between 2019 and 2012, though most of these services were successfully resolved. While the building has maintained its structural integrity through various upgrades, the frequency of water-related issues in particular may warrant attention from any prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 943 Sanchez 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
56thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 827 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

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
