Rent & eviction protection

Is 408 Jersey 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 1900
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1900
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 408 Jersey Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, owned by Ivonne Ferrey 2014 Trust and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade works over the past decades, with the most recent major works including a complete reroofing project in 2016 costing $13,000, and the installation of a Williams 25,000 BTU single wall unit in 2015. Earlier improvements include replacement of the front stairs and balustrade in 2011 and another reroofing project completed in 1993. A concerning period for the building occurred in late 2011 when multiple lead paint-related violations were documented, including issues with peeling paint and potential hazards, which were officially abated by January 2012.

The building's recent history shows consistent maintenance of major systems, though it has had recurrent issues with parking violations in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks between 2019 and 2024. There have also been several reports of abandoned vehicles near the property, though these were typically resolved quickly by enforcement personnel. Recent service calls from 2024 indicate continued attention to public space maintenance near the building, with recorded instances of graffiti removal. While the building has had its share of maintenance and regulatory history, including age-related concerns like the lead paint situation, the subsequent prompt remediation and regular upkeep of major building systems suggest active property management.

Risk rating

How 408 Jersey 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
75thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 470 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 permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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