Rent & eviction protection

Is 403 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
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 403 Fair Oaks Street in Noe Valley, owned by Leif Bansner, was built in 1900 and consists of four units. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance projects over the past two decades, with the most recent work focused on electrical systems and garage modifications. In 2018, electrical improvements were completed in the detached garage, and prior to that, substantial work was done in 2016 including foundation revisions, guardrail replacement, and garage remodeling with a roof deck addition. The property has a documented history of structural maintenance, with multiple repairs to the rear wall, stair framing, and footings completed between 2015-2018.

The building's safety features were notably enhanced in 2004 with the installation of a partial residential fire sprinkler system in the basement, comprising 10 heads. The property has experienced two significant building-related incidents: a routine inspection in 2017 identified fire extinguisher charging issues and a 2009 inspection noted multiple concerns including lead paint hazards, weatherproofing problems, and fire escape maintenance needs - all of which were subsequently resolved by March 2017. Three violations related to unauthorized interior modifications of a second-floor unit were reported in April 2015 but were marked as resolved within a week. Recent environmental improvements include the installation of solar hot water panels and a 120-gallon storage tank in 2015.

Risk rating

How 403 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.
