Rent & eviction protection

Is 691-699 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.

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 1908
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 building at 691-699 Chenery Street in Glen Park, owned by Manhal Sami Jweinat, is a 3-unit, 1-story structure built in 1908. The property has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably regarding its commercial space. A vacant storefront violation was documented in April 2024, leading to a Director Hearing in February 2026, though the case is no longer active. The building's commercial component faced additional challenges with an unpermitted restroom closure affecting customers between December 2025 and February 2026, which was ultimately resolved. A subsequent building permit was issued in January 2026 for minor kitchen floor repairs in the restaurant area, with an associated minimal construction cost of $500.

The property has generated considerable municipal attention over the past seven years, with 141 311 service requests filed, though many appear to be unrelated to building conditions (primarily concerning parking issues). During July 2026 alone, there were multiple reports of illegal parking and sidewalk parking issues, resulting in at least one citation. The building has also had two Department of Building Inspection (DBI) complaints and one Notice of Violation (NOV) within this period, though many of these issues have been resolved and are no longer active. The property’s historical record shows a pattern of commercial space management challenges, particularly regarding tenant facilities and storefront occupancy, though most recent complaints relate to parking enforcement matters rather than direct building maintenance or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 691-699 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
