Rent & eviction protection

Is 2424 Gough 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 1900

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.

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

2424 Gough Street is a three-unit, four-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Connolly Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with the most recent major work being a voluntary stair framing upgrade in 2019 costing $23,000. The building had a noteworthy cluster of safety and maintenance violations in 2001-2003, including issues with handrails, egress obstructions, and combustible materials, though all these violations were officially abated by June 2018. A previous rear yard variance was approved for a 70-square-foot breakfast room addition to the three-family dwelling.

The building has undergone regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2001, 2003, 2009, 2014, and most recently in 2018, indicating consistent oversight of building conditions. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2018 with one tenant receiving $200,000. More recently, there has been significant street-level activity around the building, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking violations, garbage, and debris, though these are external to the building itself. A dead street tree removal was processed in May 2024, and there were two minor fire-related incidents recorded in 2013 that were resolved without injuries or significant impact. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues in the past, particularly during the early 2000s, recent years show regular inspections and prompt response to identified issues, though there are ongoing concerns about the condition of surrounding public areas as evidenced by recent 311 calls.

Risk rating

How 2424 Gough 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
57thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 414 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.

Building size

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

Building age

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

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
