236 30Th St

Noe Valley, SF 94131 6637010B 4 units · 2 fl · 1951

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 236 30Th 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 1951
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1951
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-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 236 30th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Jeanette Santos Exempt Tr, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1951. The most substantial recent renovation was completed in 2020, involving a comprehensive kitchen remodel in Apartment #3 that included electrical upgrades, new appliances, and smoke detectors, with a reported cost of $33,000. The building's electrical system was notably upgraded in 2009 with a new 200-amp overhead electrical service installation, demonstrating attention to maintaining modern infrastructure. Historical records show two building violations in August 2009 related to fire safety concerns, specifically regarding combustibles under parked vehicles and smoke enclosure door closers, which were resolved by September 29, 2009.

The property has maintained regular housing inspections over the years, with the most recent concerns primarily involving street-level issues rather than building-specific problems. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding street conditions and parking, including reports of pavement defects and parking enforcement requests, though these are external to the building itself. A "Shared Spaces Violation" and related warning were issued in March 2024, indicating some recent code enforcement activity near the property. The building's maintenance records, particularly the 2020 kitchen renovation and 2009 electrical upgrade, suggest ongoing investment in the property's upkeep, with no major building violations or complaints on record in recent years that would directly impact resident safety or comfort.

Risk rating

How 236 30Th 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
38thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1165 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
