Rent & eviction protection

Is 290 Day 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 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 290 Day Street is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, owned by the 2020 Orchard House Trust and originally constructed in 1900. The building underwent significant renovations between 2015-2019, including a major vertical two-story addition and complete interior remodel of both units, garage modifications, and the installation of comprehensive fire safety systems. The 2015-2016 construction period was substantial, with permits showing a total cost of over $1 million for these improvements. This included the installation of full fire sprinkler systems throughout the building and a new sprinkler monitoring system, along with extensive plumbing work comprising new waste, water, and gas lines for multiple bathrooms and kitchens.

More recent improvements have focused on interior upgrades and modernizations. In 2021, work was completed to update laundry facilities, master bathroom fixtures, and install new cabinetry systems, including a master closet cabinet system. The building's infrastructure was also notably modernized, with the installation of CAT 7 wiring throughout in 2021 and an elevator system in 2019. The property has had two building complaints filed in 2018 and 2020 regarding construction activity and permit posting, though these cases are no longer active. In early 2025, there were multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans near the property, with at least ten such incidents recorded through 311 calls between January 5-12, 2025, though these are associated with city infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 290 Day 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.
