Rent & eviction protection

Is 1623-1625 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 1900
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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 1623-1625 Noe Street is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Trevor Fooks. The building is currently facing several active violations as of January 2024, including issues with electrical outlets, carbon monoxide alarms, damaged walls, damaged paint (with lead paint concerns), weatherproofing of siding, floor coverings, ceilings, and stairs. There are also concerns about handrail requirements and window frame repairs. These violations were documented in a complaint filed in January 2024, with notices of violation issued beginning January 24, 2024, and a final warning letter issued February 27, 2024.

Most recently, in September 2024, permits were issued for substantial work including the removal of exterior stairs in two locations, infilling exterior walls, and interior renovations at both units. The property has a history of concerns regarding unauthorized unit conversion, with complaints about an illegal basement unit filed in 2001, 2015, and most recently in 1994, though the 1625 Noe Street address converted an illegal unit to storage in 2000. The building has undergone various renovations and permit applications over the years, including work in 2013 (withdrawn) and 2015 (demolition of interior walls). Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing issues with tree root damage to sidewalks, with multiple open cases regarding this matter. A tenant buyout was executed at 1625 Noe Street in May 2024 for $55,000 involving one tenant.

Risk rating

How 1623-1625 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
30thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1315 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
