Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 217-223 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 1902

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.

Built 1902
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 8-unit multi-family residential building at 217-223 Jersey Street in Noe Valley is a 2-story structure built in 1902, currently owned by Brian C & Erica C Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (with an initial cost of $60,000) to enhance seismic safety, for which all required permits are now complete. The building has received comprehensive electrical upgrades, including the installation of a 9.8 kW solar photovoltaic system in 2013 consisting of 40 panels and 8 interactive inverters serving multiple addresses, and a Ufer ground system with relocated main disconnect switch in 2019. Recent infrastructure maintenance includes plumbing work in 2024 to repair and replace the house trap, and water service improvements in 2018.

The building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues in the past, with several code violations and complaints filed between 2002 and 2014, though all have been officially abated. These included concerns about stairs, exterior doors, various interior surfaces, and plumbing issues which were all addressed. Notably, there was a period of heating system problems in June 2014, and some general maintenance issues were reported at that time. Records show that the building has been proactive in addressing safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of the soft-story retrofit program (Tier 3 status with Certificate of Final Completion issued) and various system upgrades. Street space permits were issued in 2017, and the property has maintained compliance with local building codes since addressing the noted violations.

Risk rating

How 217-223 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
24thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1428 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location
