Rent & eviction protection

Is 1071-1073 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

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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-family residential building at 1071-1073 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1924, is currently undergoing significant renovations with major permits issued as of December 2024. The approved work encompasses substantial conversions and remodels across all three floors, including transforming storage areas into living spaces with new rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry facilities. The renovation project, valued at $320,000, is accompanied by substantial electrical upgrades with permits issued in January 2025 for a 400-amp service panel installation and comprehensive rewiring of the units, indicating a substantial modernization effort of the building's infrastructure.

The property has a minimal historical incident record, with only routine maintenance noted in the past, including a reroofing project in 2006 valued at $7,000. A street space permit was issued in 2007, though its specific purpose is not detailed in the records. The location experienced a few minor municipal issues, such as a parking enforcement call in January 2025 and an encampment report in August 2022, but none of these incidents directly relate to the building's condition or maintenance. The planning records confirm the ongoing renovation work is designed to maintain access to the rear yard and includes installation of aluminum-clad wood windows at the front of the building.

Risk rating

How 1071-1073 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
65thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 658 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
