Rent & eviction protection

Is 223-227 Fair Oaks 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.

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.

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 223-227 Fair Oaks Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1885 and currently owned by 223 Fair Oaks LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past two decades, with the most recent improvements including a complete window replacement project in March 2024 (cost: $10,000) and a reroofing project completed in September 2023 (cost: $29,000). Historical records show earlier work addressing termite issues in 2006, replacement of front steps in 2003-2004, and various improvements to utilities and skylights in 2001. A notable event occurred in June 2021 when two tenants received $60,000 in a buyout agreement.

The property has experienced multiple parking-related issues in recent years, with eight documented incidents of vehicles blocking driveways between 2022-2023, resulting in several citations and at least one towing incident. There have also been two reports of tree-related property damage, including a recent incident in June 2024 that is currently under investigation. Planning records indicate recent approvals for window replacements and window installations, as well as proposed construction of a stair and second-floor bridge to access a new dwelling unit in the rear carriage house, though the current status of this project is not confirmed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 223-227 Fair Oaks 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.
