Rent & eviction protection

Is 209 Vicksburg 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.

Built 1902
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 residential building at 209 Vicksburg Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Frederick M Salan Revocable Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1902 construction. Most recently, in December 2019, the building underwent maintenance work to repair and paint its front elevation, address rot issues in the siding and trim, with this $7,200 project successfully completed. The property has experienced several notable maintenance events over the past three decades, including bathroom and kitchen remodeling in 1994, dry rot and termite repairs in 1993, and a horizontal addition permit in 1991 (though this permit eventually expired). In 1988, there was an attempt to remove an existing enclosed two-story porch, but this permit was cancelled.

The building's external environment has experienced relatively few incidents since 2014, with the most significant recent events being a graffiti removal case in November 2021 and a parking enforcement issue in March 2022 involving a blocked driveway. A general service request was made to the Department of Public Works in 2014, though no actionable conditions were found during inspection. The property's maintenance record indicates regular upkeep, particularly focusing on addressing structural issues such as dry rot and termite damage in the early 1990s, with more recent efforts concentrated on preserving the building's exterior through repairs and painting work.

Risk rating

How 209 Vicksburg 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 319 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
