Rent & eviction protection

Is 643-645 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 1929

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 two-unit residential building at 643-645 Chenery Street, owned by Claudio and Giovanna Hrvatin, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1929 in the Glen Park neighborhood. The property has undergone some significant maintenance work in recent years, most notably in 2022 when a rear stairs repair project was completed at a cost of $10,000. This project was initiated following a building violation in May 2022, which reported unauthorized construction work and raised safety concerns about airborne materials and potential fire hazards. The violation was eventually abated in April 2023. Earlier records show electrical upgrades were made in 2012, including the installation of a 200-amp service with two meters in the basement, though this permit has since expired. The property also underwent underpinning work in 1998.

In recent months (late 2024), there have been several maintenance and service calls to the property, primarily related to street cleaning, graffiti removal, and tree maintenance in the vicinity of the building. These issues were mostly resolved by various city departments, including Public Works and Urban Forestry. A planning record from the Claudio & Giovanna Hrvatin Trust indicates that a project was completed to demo and replace the existing required means of egress for the two-unit flats, though no new fire walls were added and no variance was required according to planning code interpretation.

Risk rating

How 643-645 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 211 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
