A San Francisco eviction notice filed Aug. 13 on the 400 block of Broadway Street is marked as a breach notice in city data, one of 30 Chinatown filings in a direct 90-day DataSF query.

On the 400 block of Broadway Street, the eviction record is only a line in a city table: case M261692, filed Aug. 13↗ (external source, opens in a new tab), marked “breach” and not marked for nonpayment, nuisance, owner move-in, Ellis Act withdrawal, demolition or capital improvement.

That is a small distinction, but on this block it is the distinction. San Francisco’s rent law includes breach of a lawful lease obligation↗ (external source, opens in a new tab) among the city’s just-cause eviction grounds, after notice and failure to cure; the public DataSF row does not say what alleged breach was cited, whether a tenant disputes it, whether the notice led to a court filing, or whether anyone has left.

What the row gives is narrower: 400 Block Of Broadway Street, ZIP code 94133, Supervisor District 3, neighborhood label Chinatown, file date Aug. 13, 2026, and the cause box. The rest of the story is not in the row.

A direct DataSF query for Chinatown eviction notices↗ (external source, opens in a new tab) from May 20 through Aug. 18 returns 30 filings. This Broadway notice is one of the newest in that 90-day window, and it sits on a block where the public sign of displacement pressure is not necessarily a lockout or a moving truck, but a cause code arriving first in a city dataset.

Broadway is also a border street in practice: Chinatown in the city’s data label, with North Beach and the old nightlife strip close enough that the same block can read differently depending on who is walking it. For now, the public record attaches one more cause to the 400 block, and no more than that.
