Rent & eviction protection

Is 1072-1074 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 1880
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 1880
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 property at 1072-1074 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1880, currently owned by the Susan Yoon Choe Living Trust. The building underwent significant renovations between 2015-2016, including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system with sprinklers and monitoring, complete electrical rewiring, and substantial plumbing upgrades including multiple bathroom refurbishments and kitchen improvements across all units. The electrical upgrades in 2015 included the installation of three 100A subpanels, new lighting, appliance connections, and smoke detection systems, while plumbing work encompassed the installation of radiant heating, multiple bathroom fixtures, and a fireplace.

In late 2015 and early 2016, the property underwent several street space permit renewals, and there were subsequent maintenance and compliance activities, including a 2024 shared spaces violation related to crosswalk obstruction. The building's history includes two routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2007 that were resolved without noted issues. A notable planning record shows a variance request to modify the rear yard requirements, which indicated a proposed change from three to two units, though the property is confirmed to have three units according to recent records. The building has undergone various improvements over the years, including garage door opener installation in 2005 and extensive electrical work in 2007 for lighting and electrical systems. The most recent significant modifications focused on safety systems and modernization of unit amenities, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1072-1074 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
67thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 620 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
