Rent & eviction protection

Is 1432 Noe 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 1970

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1970
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-unit residential building at 1432 Noe Street in Noe Valley, owned by Anne McGowan 2017 Living Trust, was constructed in 1970 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building's maintenance record shows three significant roofing projects: a completed $26,200 reroofing in 2019, and two older projects from 2002 and 2008, the latter involving window and patio door replacements with modern energy-efficient features, though this permit expired. Of particular concern is a building complaint filed in September 2020 regarding unpermitted construction that created significant noise and ventilation issues during late-night hours, involving heavy machinery and fumes during what appears to be flooring work, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The property has experienced recurring sewer-related issues, with three documented sewage backup incidents between 2018 and 2023 involving a four-inch vent line problem, and one of these incidents in January 2023 was noted as unable to be resolved with a recommendation made. Other infrastructure concerns have included a curb defect reported in April 2023 and an overgrown tree requiring pruning in January 2023, both of which have been addressed. There have been several general maintenance and cleanliness issues documented through 311 calls, including incidents involving garbage and debris in 2024. While the building has undergone some significant improvements in recent years, through both voluntary upgrades and reactive maintenance to address various infrastructure issues, the pattern of sewer problems and the significant 2020 construction complaint represent the most notable concerns regarding resident experience and building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1432 Noe 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
86thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 263 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
