Rent & eviction protection

Is 701-703 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 before 1979
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.

15+ years since occupancy
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 two-unit residential building at 701-703 Chenery Street in Glen Park, owned by the Randhahn Family Trust, has experienced several significant events in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, in May 2024, there was a serious incident involving construction work on the upper story when a pane of untempered glass was dropped from a bay window, striking two women at a nearby bus stop, resulting in at least one mild injury. This followed a pattern of concerning construction-related issues, including a complaint about construction noise past permitted hours in July 2023. The building has undergone substantial renovations in 2023-2024, with over $567,000 in permitted work including comprehensive interior remodeling, roofing replacement, and accessibility upgrades. A significant fire incident occurred in June 2022, causing structural damage to the ground floor dry cleaning area, for which a Notice of Violation was filed.

The property has generated numerous 311 service requests in recent months, particularly regarding overgrown trees, with multiple reports of sidewalk blockage between May and July 2026. While the building has undergone major improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels, insulation upgrades, and new electrical work, the history of construction-related incidents and violations suggests ongoing challenges with worksite safety and adherence to construction protocols. The structure, built in 1904, is a two-story building typical of its era, and while recent permits indicate significant investment in modernization and repairs, the pattern of service requests and violations raises questions about maintenance practices and resident safety during construction activities.

Risk rating

How 701-703 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 302 are predicted to be safer.
