Rent & eviction protection

Is 317-319 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 1938

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 317-319 Chenery Street in Glen Park is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1938 and currently owned by the Kathleen Devine Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade work over the years, with the most recent major improvement being the replacement of three furnaces with new units and installation of new flue and condensate drain lines in 2021. Previous substantial work includes dryrot repairs in 2012 costing $8,660, stair replacement in 2003 (from basement to third floor) costing $7,500, and several window replacements in 1992. The property has maintained regular upkeep, evidenced by proper documentation of repairs and improvements, including street space permits obtained in 2013.

Recent history shows that in 2018, there was a tenant buyout at 319 Chenery Street involving two tenants and a payout of $60,000. The building's immediate neighborhood has experienced periodic parking-related issues, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and abandoned vehicles between 2019 and 2024, though these incidents are primarily external to the building itself and have typically been addressed by enforcement officers. The property appears to be well-maintained from a structural and systems perspective, with no recorded major safety violations or urgent maintenance issues in recent years, though the number of parking-related incidents in the vicinity suggests ongoing challenges with street parking in the area.

Risk rating

How 317-319 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
82ndpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 66 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
