Rent & eviction protection

Is 4082-4084 Cesar Chavez 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 1926

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 1926
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 property at 4082-4084 Cesar Chavez Street is a one-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1926. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past three decades. Most notably, in 2017, substantial exterior work was performed including stucco replacement ($50,000), structural framing modifications ($30,000), electrical rerouting, and street space improvements. Earlier improvements include window replacements in 2014 (14 windows, $18,000), gas line extension work that same year, and previously completed termite repairs in 1995 that converted the property from three units to two. The building's maintenance history also shows attention to structural elements with reroofing work completed in 1992 and 2017, though an earlier permit from 2005 for deck additions and stair repairs expired without completion.

The surrounding area has experienced various maintenance and enforcement issues in recent years, with a notable cluster of 311 calls between 2023 and 2025 primarily related to graffiti, street cleaning, and parking enforcement matters. These external incidents have been generally addressed by city agencies, with most cases marked as resolved. While these neighborhood issues are well-documented through 311 calls, they primarily relate to the public street and sidewalk areas rather than the building itself, which has maintained an active permit history demonstrating regular upkeep and improvements by the current ownership. The most recent plumbing and electrical work, combined with the significant exterior renovations in 2017, suggest ongoing maintenance commitment to preserve the building's structural integrity and livability.

Risk rating

How 4082-4084 Cesar Chavez 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
45thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1033 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
