Rent & eviction protection

Is 441 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
2 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 two-unit residential building at 441 Fair Oaks Street in Noe Valley, owned by George and Solange Arend, has experienced several notable incidents and maintenance issues over the past decade. The most recent and concerning pattern involves multiple parking violations in 2023, with four documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways or bike lanes between May and September, suggesting an ongoing traffic management challenge in the vicinity. Prior to this, the property faced several infrastructure concerns, including a collapsed sidewalk reported in 2016 and a defective curb identified in 2018, though these issues were eventually resolved by Public Works. A concerning environmental health service request was made in 2021, though it was closed due to insufficient information about whether the issue pertained to the property or nearby tree.

The building's maintenance history also shows attention to parking infrastructure, with a defaced parking sign repaired in 2020. There were two reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity in 2014 and 2015, though both vehicles were gone upon inspection. Of particular note is a tenant buyout that occurred in November 2020 at the neighboring 443 Fair Oaks Street, involving a payment of $95,000 to one tenant. While this transaction occurred at an adjacent address, it may indicate past tenant turnover activity in the immediate area. The property's age (built in 1900) and classification as a flats/duplex building are consistent with typical Noe Valley architecture, though no specific building condition issues are currently on record beyond those previously mentioned.

Risk rating

How 441 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1823 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
