Noe Valley, SF 94114 3649029 5 units · 2 fl · 1895

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 205-207 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 1895

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 205-207 Chattanooga Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building in Noe Valley, containing 5 units and built in 1895, currently owned by Richard B Raskin. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being the installation of a ground conductor in September 2019 and the completion of its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $45,000. The property has a history of addressing various structural and safety issues, particularly in 2006-2010, when multiple violations were recorded and subsequently abated, including repairs to stairs, landings, and interior surfaces, as well as fire safety improvements such as sprinkler installation and fire extinguisher maintenance. More recent maintenance has included plumbing upgrades (replacement of sewer line in 2014), electrical system improvements, and general maintenance work such as reroofing in 2009 and kitchen/bathroom remodels in 2008.

The building's recent history shows continued attention to maintenance and safety requirements, with no active violations currently on record. External reports from 2022-2024 have primarily focused on street cleaning, tree maintenance, and minor infrastructure issues outside the property line, with one documented gas leak incident and a collapsed sidewalk report in 2022 that was determined not to be in the public right-of-way. The property's compliance with the soft-story retrofit program (designated as Tier 3, Work Complete, CFC Issued) indicates it has met important seismic safety requirements, though regular maintenance of building systems and prompt response to any emergent issues would be prudent. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and significant safety upgrades, particularly during the 2006-2010 period when multiple system upgrades and repairs were implemented following various violations and complaints.

Risk rating

How 205-207 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
36thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1203 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

Number of units

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

Property class: mixed-use w/ SFR

Mixed-use property including a single-family residential component.

Neighborhood location

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