Rent & eviction protection

Is 167-169 29Th 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 1904

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 1904
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 167-169 29th Street in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by the Carrasco Marital Trust of 1995. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major renovation occurring in 2013, when a bathroom was remodeled to install a fiberglass roll-in shower, including associated plumbing and electrical work. Other notable maintenance work includes a complete reroofing project in 2002 ($6,500), while earlier records show attempts to address deck stair repairs in 1999 and another roofing project in 1990, though those permits are marked as expired.

The building has experienced some maintenance and safety concerns, including a noise complaint related to a vent cap in 2004 that disturbed neighbors' sleep, though this issue was abated within weeks. More recently, the property has faced external environmental challenges, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 reporting human or animal waste on or near the property, and several parking enforcement calls in 2021 regarding vehicles parking on sidewalks. The building's infrastructure faced some sewer-related issues in 2011, with two reported sewage backups through a 4-inch vent, though these incidents were resolved. While the building appears to be maintained through periodic renovations and repairs, prospective tenants should be aware of the property's age and some historical plumbing system challenges, as evidenced by the 2011 sewage incidents and the 2013 bathroom renovation work that included system updates.

Risk rating

How 167-169 29Th 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
56thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 827 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
