Noe Valley, SF 94114 3653022A 4 units · 2 fl · 1905

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 1043-1049 Noe 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 1905

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 1905
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-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1043-1049 Noe Street in Noe Valley, owned by Eugene Leung & Charlene Lee, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1905. Most recently, in early 2024, there were reports of sewage backup issues, tree-related sidewalk damage, and concerns about overgrown trees, though some of these cases remain open and unresolved. The building has received substantial renovation work over the past 15 years, with multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels documented between 2009 and 2019, including the installation of new fixtures, cabinets, and electrical systems. A major plumbing upgrade was completed in December 2021 with the replacement of the sewer lateral and house trap. Historical records show several building violations in 2002 related to security requirements, gas utility safety, and stair repairs, though these were all abated within three months. In 2011, there was one active complaint regarding an unpermitted fence construction, which was later resolved.

The property has maintained active upkeep of its mechanical systems and infrastructure, with multiple electrical upgrades including rewiring and lighting installations. There have been recurring issues with tree maintenance and sidewalk damage in recent years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2023 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with urban foliage management in the area. A short-term rental violation was recorded and closed in Planning Records, indicating at least one instance of unauthorized rental activity. The building has demonstrated regular maintenance and improvements through the systematic upgrading of its units and infrastructure, with most recent renovations focusing on modernizing kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems across multiple units.

Risk rating

How 1043-1049 Noe 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
26thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1390 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
