Rent & eviction protection

Is 1340 Sanchez 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.

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.

Annual rent increase cap

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

1340 Sanchez Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1928 in Noe Valley, currently owned by 1340 Sanchez LLC. The property has undergone several significant upgrades over the past two decades, most notably a 2018 window replacement project costing $35,000 that installed Milgard Essence fiberglass double-hung windows throughout the building. Previous major improvements include the replacement of all wall heaters and one furnace in 2010, and an upgrade to the main electrical service with five meters in 2005. The building had multiple housing code violations documented in August 2009, including issues with hot water heater elevation, exterior door self-closing devices, and flammable material storage, though all of these violations were resolved by September 2009.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to essential systems, including a completed roof replacement work permit from 1999. Recent activity around the property (2023-2024) has primarily consisted of municipal service calls unrelated to the building's condition, such as street cleaning, parking enforcement, and sewer maintenance. There have been no active building violations or major housing complaints since 2009, and the home's systems appear to have received proper maintenance and upgrades when needed. The most recent permits and work completed suggest ongoing investment in maintaining and improving the property, particularly with the 2018 window upgrades representing a significant aesthetic and energy efficiency improvement.

Risk rating

How 1340 Sanchez 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
