Rent & eviction protection

Is 301-305 Elizabeth 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

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.

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 four-unit multi-family residential building at 301-305 Elizabeth St in Noe Valley, owned by Frederick E & Jennie D Burke, has a documented history of significant structural issues and safety concerns. The most recent serious incident occurred in 2017-2018 when the building suffered structural damage at the northeast corner, reportedly due to a car collision, raising concerns about potential collapse during earthquakes. This damage prompted multiple repair permits totaling $20,000 to address the approximately 10'x10' affected area. The building underwent several violations in 2010, including issues related to combustible storage, lead paint concerns, interior wall maintenance, and weatherproofing requirements, though these were all abated by September 2010. Earlier incidents include a routine apartment inspection in 2002, and concerns about plumbing work without a permit in 1996, along with issues regarding an illegal lot line window and drainage problems in the same year.

More recently, the property has experienced multiple instances of driveway blocking, with nine separate reports between September 2024 and January 2025, indicating ongoing parking enforcement challenges in the area. While most of these recent parking-related incidents could not be validated or resulted in citations being issued, they suggest persistent issues with parking management near the property. The building's documented history includes one civil motor vehicle accident incident with injuries, though no civilian injuries were recorded in the available data.

Risk rating

How 301-305 Elizabeth 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1466 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
