Frequently asked questions
How many rent-controlled locations are in Chinatown, San Francisco?
The San Francisco Rent Board's housing inventory reports 150 rent-controlled block-side locations in Chinatown. The inventory is anonymized to the block, so a location is a block-side rather than a single address.
Were most rent-controlled buildings in Chinatown built before 1979?
148 of the 150 locations in Chinatown with a recorded build year were built before 1979. The legal test is the date the certificate of occupancy was issued — before 13 June 1979 — not the assessor's build year, so treat this as an indication, not a ruling.
