Rent & eviction protection

Is 3743-3745 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 before 1979
Built 1932

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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
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 two-story multi-family residential building at 3743-3745 Cesar Chavez Street, located in Noe Valley, was built in 1932 and contains three units. The property, currently owned by the Protestant Episcopal Bishop, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a complete sewer line and house trap replacement in 2019, demonstrating attention to essential systems maintenance. Historical records show various renovations and repairs between 1983 and 2018, such as window replacements, kitchen upgrades, and compliance work, with the most recent major infrastructure work being a gas-efficient furnace installation attempt in 2018, though these permits expired.

The building has been subject to routine housing inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2008, and 2016, with no active complaints currently on file. A notable pattern of parking enforcement issues has emerged in recent months, with nine documented cases of driveway blocking between December 2023 and October 2024, though in most instances, responding officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. Additionally, there were two reports of garbage and debris issues in July 2024. The property's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of essential systems, though the expiration of the 2018 furnace permits and the recent parking and cleanliness concerns may merit attention.

Risk rating

How 3743-3745 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
