Rent & eviction protection

Is 284 Duncan 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 1890

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.

Built 1890
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

284 Duncan Street is a two-unit, multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Qadir Asim and Rasul Ayesha. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with particular attention to the front stairs. Most recently, in 2020, there was a notice of violation regarding unauthorized work on the front stairs that led to a subsequent properly permitted repair project costing $2,500 to replace treads and risers due to dry rot. The building has seen substantial improvements between 2003-2005, including window replacements, siding installation, and major electrical work including kitchen and bathroom remodels. More recent upgrades include the installation of an EV charger circuit in 2021 and a direct vent wall heater replacement in 2022.

The property has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, with multiple permits showing careful attention to building maintenance. Earlier modifications included chimney removal and garage door construction in 2008, as well as comprehensive electrical rewiring and fixture updates in 2003 and 2005. While there have been a few complaints regarding construction timing and garage modifications in 2004-2020, these issues appear to have been resolved appropriately through subsequent permits and inspections. The building's recent record shows attention to modern amenities and safety features, with no active violations or persistent complaints on file.

Risk rating

How 284 Duncan 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
72ndpercentile
