Rent & eviction protection

Is 1435-1449 Castro 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 1910
2 or more units

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 1910
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 building at 1435-1449 Castro Street in Noe Valley, built in 1910 and currently under the Catherine Quigg Exempt Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past few decades. Most notably, in 2014, the building received a substantial electrical upgrade, including the installation of a new 400-amp service and additional meters, completed in August 2014. In recent years, there was a heat-related complaint in December 2021, which was marked as not active. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, including substantial work in 2002 when exterior stairs and decking were replaced to comply with housing inspections, and a car-related incident in 2011 that required stucco repair.

The property has undergone regular electrical maintenance and inspections, with a survey conducted in July 2014 showing proactive management of the building's systems. Historical violations from 2001-2003 related to various maintenance issues, including exterior stairs, drainage pipes, and sanitation concerns, were all resolved by May 2003. Recent exterior maintenance records from 2024 show multiple reports of garbage, debris, and street cleaning issues in the surrounding area, including instances of overflowing city garbage cans and graffiti on public property, though these appear to be related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues. The most recent building-specific permits were for street space usage in 2019, indicating ongoing compliance with municipal requirements.

Risk rating

How 1435-1449 Castro 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
12thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1654 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
