Frequently asked questions

How many rent-controlled locations are in Japantown, San Francisco?

The San Francisco Rent Board's housing inventory reports 28 rent-controlled block-side locations in Japantown. 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 Japantown built before 1979?

27 of the 28 locations in Japantown 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.
