Rent & eviction protection

Is 332 Fair Oaks 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
5 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 332 Fair Oaks St in Noe Valley is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 332 Fair Oaks LLC. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2023, there were violations related to work practices and exterior cleanup standards, though these were abated by September 2023. A notable building improvement was completed in 2020 with a 200-amp electrical service upgrade for the building's five meters. Previous concerns included a sewer trap replacement in 2007 and a water pressure issue reported in 2014 that affected shower use. Historical violations from 2002 involved fire safety concerns, including combustible storage and fire escape maintenance, though these were promptly addressed within a few months of being cited.

More recent activity at the property shows a combination of maintenance and regulatory interactions. A sewage backup issue was reported and resolved in May 2024, and there have been multiple parking enforcement calls regarding vehicles blocking driveways or double parking in the vicinity, particularly in May 2024. The property has also experienced some recent infrastructure challenges, including tree-related property damage (reported as of June 2024) and various construction-related issues, including noise complaints and paint-related environmental concerns. While tenant buyouts are not recorded for this address, the building's maintenance history shows regular interaction with city services and prompt response to violations when they occur.

Risk rating

How 332 Fair Oaks 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
17thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1560 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
