Rent & eviction protection

Is 1689-1691 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 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.

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 1689-1691 Noe Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Megan M Fletcher, containing two units. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, including a substantial kitchen remodel and bathroom conversions in 2002-2003, the addition of exterior decks and rear stairs in 2003, and a complete reroofing project in 2016 costing $6,418. Electrical upgrades have been performed, notably a complete rewiring of the upper unit in 2002 and kitchen-related electrical work in 2005. The building underwent a significant conversion process in the early 2000s, transitioning from a single-family dwelling to a two-unit dwelling, which required a parking variance due to the lack of off-street parking for both units.

Recent external conditions around the property have presented some challenges, with records showing a collapsed sidewalk that remains an open issue as of 2022, and multiple reports of human or animal waste on nearby streets/sidewalks in 2022 that were subsequently resolved. There have been periodic graffiti incidents in the vicinity, with the most recent occurring in 2019, though these were addressed by city services. Infrastructure-related issues have included a sewer vent odor report in 2013, which was resolved through maintenance work. The property has maintained good structural integrity, as evidenced by the lack of major building code violations or safety concerns in recent history. While there have been some quality-of-life issues noted through 311 calls, these primarily relate to external conditions in the surrounding neighborhood rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1689-1691 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
92ndpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 150 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
