Rent & eviction protection

Is 415 27Th 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 1962
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 1962
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 415 27th Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by 415 Twenty Seventh Street L. The building has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past several years, with the most recent work being a $30,000 reroofing project permitted in April 2023. Previous substantial renovations include a major upgrade to Apartment 5 in 2022 ($45,000), involving electrical, plumbing, and kitchen improvements, as well as work on Apartment 6 in 2018 ($25,000) that encompassed window/door replacements, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen appliances. The building has experienced several maintenance challenges, particularly during 2018-2019, when multiple violations were recorded related to ventilation, fire escape maintenance, weatherproofing, lighting, and water damage, though all these violations were abated by June 2019. The property underwent window and door replacements in 2017-2019 (nine windows and two doors), and a significant electrical upgrade was completed in 2022, including complete rewiring and new sub-panels.

The building has a history of construction-related complaints, particularly in 2017-2018 regarding noise disturbances during renovations, and multiple building violations in late 2018 related to safety and maintenance issues. Two fire safety violations were issued in April 2018 regarding hazardous materials and alarm system maintenance, though these were also addressed by May 2018. Recent permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems, with particular attention to electrical and plumbing infrastructure. The property is currently experiencing parking-related issues, with multiple complaints recorded in late 2024 regarding driveway blocking and illegal parking, though these are external to the building's immediate conditions. A tenant buyout was recorded for December 2024, involving two tenants and a total amount of $85,000, indicating potential occupancy changes or unit reconfiguration plans.

Risk rating

How 415 27Th 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.
