Rent & eviction protection

Is 1458 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.

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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 1458 Noe St in Noe Valley, owned by Matthew Goo, is a 1926 two-story structure classified as a Flats & Duplex. The property has experienced several significant plumbing issues over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a sewer lateral repair in 2011 involving approximately 45 feet of 4-inch pipe replacement to the curb, including a new house trap. More concerning are the documented sewage backup incidents in May 2019, which required fieldwork from the PUC Sewer Operations department to resolve, and a comprehensive water quality complaint logged in October 2020.

The building experienced some construction-related disturbances in July 2017, with multiple complaints documented about unauthorized work being performed without permits, including reports of loud sawing noises during evening hours. More recent maintenance history shows consistent attention to public infrastructure around the property, with multiple 311 calls between 2019-2023 regarding various issues including parking concerns and street cleaning needs. The property has shown regular interactions with city services for both building-specific and public infrastructure issues, though most recent calls in December 2023 were related to parking matters rather than building maintenance. The building's documented history suggests a pattern of plumbing-related challenges, particularly during 2019-2020, though many of these issues have required direct city intervention for resolution.

Risk rating

How 1458 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
44thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1052 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
