Rent & eviction protection

Is 401-403 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 1907
2 or more units

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 1907
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 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 401-403 Elizabeth Street in Noe Valley, built in 1907 and currently owned by the Gold-tenge Living Trust, has undergone several notable improvements and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the years. Most significantly, the building was identified as a Tier 3 Soft Story property in 2017, with failure to submit permit applications for seismic retrofit work resulting in violations and monitoring fees. The property has a history of safety and maintenance issues, particularly in 2002 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with fire safety, lighting, fire proofing, and stair repairs, although these were all abated by February 2003. During 2013, significant improvements were made to the kitchen and bathroom facilities, including plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling $15,700.

Recent months have seen multiple 311 calls regarding the property's immediate surroundings, primarily related to sidewalk cleaning and debris removal between August and December 2024, though these issues were resolved by city services. The building's fire safety record includes several incidents, including one cooking fire and two carbon monoxide-related situations, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and there was a fire-related complaint in 2019 that could not be investigated due to lack of building access. The property has undergone various routine maintenance and improvement work over the years, including exterior lighting installation in 2003 and street space permits in 2006, 2015, and 2018, though these street-related permits typically involve minimal cost.

Risk rating

How 401-403 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
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.

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.

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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