Rent & eviction protection

Is 20-24 Julius 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 1912
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1912
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

20-24 Julius Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently containing 6 units and owned by Julius Lombard Assocs LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2009-2020. Major improvements include comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2009 (replacing fuses with circuit breakers and upgrading to 400-amp service), multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels across different floors, and plumbing improvements including the installation of three Rinnai direct vent furnaces in 2020. The building underwent important structural and safety improvements in 2019, including voluntary structural reinforcement at the first story rear and various system upgrades.

The property had several building violations in 2006 related to fire safety and structural issues, including requirements for smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and repairs to structural wood posts and ground floor ceiling, all of which were abated by August 3, 2006. Since then, there have been no recorded building violations or serious safety concerns. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, including sewer lateral replacement in 2010 and various unit-specific improvements to keep systems current. Planning records indicate past consideration of combining units with the adjacent property at 370 Lombard Street, but these proposals appear to have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 20-24 Julius 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
30thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 479 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
