Rent & eviction protection

Is 1721-1723 Church 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 1915

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 1915
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 two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1721-1723 Church Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Edward Ryan, has undergone significant modernizations and improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in 2023, a solar photovoltaic system comprising 21 modules (approximately 7.67 kW) was successfully installed. The property underwent substantial renovations in 2012, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, deck repairs, and window replacements, followed by the conversion of a two-story barn into a two-bedroom guest house. Important safety upgrades were implemented in 2013 with the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building. More recent improvements between 2018-2019 included extensive plumbing and electrical upgrades, installation of new furnaces, and bathroom additions. The building's infrastructure has been significantly enhanced with new electrical systems including three meters and subpanels, high-efficiency appliances, and comprehensive HVAC improvements.

The property has experienced minor external maintenance issues as evidenced by 311 calls, including reports of graffiti (2019), medical waste (2019), and a missing side sewer vent cover (2015), all of which were resolved. Recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily relate to municipal services and street cleaning rather than building-specific issues. Planning records indicate proper procedural compliance for major improvements, including a variance request that was approved to facilitate the conversion of the barn structure. The property appears to be well-maintained overall, with regular updates to comply with modern safety standards and improve energy efficiency.

Risk rating

How 1721-1723 Church 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
84thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 301 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio
