Rent & eviction protection

Is 24-26 Himmelmann Pl 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 1900
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 1900
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

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 24-26 Himmelmann Place in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Carlos Abela, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with a particular cluster of activity in 2026. The most recent and potentially concerning incidents involve mechanical equipment problems, including an active 311 service request from July 2026 regarding bathroom exhaust fan noise at the property, which was reported to reach 60 decibels after 10 PM. This followed an environmental health complaint filed in July 2026 that was accepted and forwarded to the Department of Public Health's Noise Program for investigation. Additional service requests in 2026 included a general maintenance issue in late June and a sidewalk blockage complaint from June 2025 regarding cafe furniture.

Earlier complaints from the past three years focused primarily on external issues, including a garbage and debris incident in October 2024 that was resolved without the need for work. The building's maintenance record shows a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years (only six requests), with most being resolved through official channels. While some of these issues may impact resident comfort, it's worth noting that the most serious and recent complaints have been related to mechanical equipment and noise rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 24-26 Himmelmann Pl'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
66thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
