Rent & eviction protection

Is 321-323 Chenery 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 1928

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.

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 321-323 Chenery Street in Glen Park is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Erich & Chandra Ippen. The building has undergone several significant renovations, with the most substantial work completed in 2015 involving a $200,000 project that included the removal and replacement of the rear structure, deck, and stairs, along with relocating a third-floor unit to the first floor and remodeling of the garage and living spaces. Earlier improvements were made to support the existing deck in 2003, add an approximately 80-square-foot roof deck in 2002, and complete a main electrical panel upgrade to 200-amp service in 2014. Recent plumbing work included the installation of two shower pans in 2017-2019 and the installation of a radiant heating system with a high-efficiency water heater in 2017.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both building code compliance and resident comfort, with multiple permits for kitchen and bathroom remodels, deck improvements, and modernization efforts. The property has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by 311 calls, including issues with abandoned vehicles (2016-2019), graffiti (2018), and occasional street cleaning matters. There were two fire-related complaints on record - one in 2017 regarding combustible materials which was found to have no merit, and another in 2009 concerning unlicensed auto repair which also had no merit. The most recent building-related activities have been minor, primarily consisting of street space permits in 2017 and 2018, and a parking enforcement call in 2023.

Risk rating

How 321-323 Chenery 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
78thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 80 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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