Ayear after the state’s COVID-19 eviction moratorium expired, the number of eviction notices filed in San Francisco has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, a Chronicle analysis found.

Data from the San Francisco Rent Board, which monitors the nearly three-quarters of San Francisco rental units that are rent-controlled, shows that eviction notices have been on the rise since October 2021, when California’s emergency eviction moratorium ended, ushering in a patchwork of state extensions, local protections and rent relief programs instead.

On July 1, a remaining state law protecting against evictions for nonpayment of rent during the pandemic also expired, and eviction notices in San Francisco spiked.

Evictions in 2022 have been concentrated in the Tenderloin, South of Market, downtown and South Beach.
