Rent & eviction protection

Is 234-246 Euclid Ave 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 1949

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 1949
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

This 7-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 234-246 Euclid Avenue was constructed in 1949 and is currently owned by the Cheng Louise K Y Revocable Trust. The property has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years, including the installation of a comprehensive fire alarm system in 2018 (completed at a cost of $14,835) and a new fire sprinkler system in 2017 (completed at $7,000). The building's electrical infrastructure was notably improved in 2018 with the installation of a new 400-amp main switch and updated meter panels, while plumbing upgrades have included a house trap replacement in 2022 and new water heater installation in 2017.

The building has faced several maintenance challenges, most notably a serious mold issue reported in September 2019 that affected windows and window frames, though this was marked as resolved by November 2019. Earlier violations from 2004 regarding wood stairs and smoke detector installation were also resolved. Recent building maintenance work included attempts to replace windows at the Collins Street elevation in 2020, though this permit was ultimately cancelled. The property is classified as a Tier 3 Soft Story building, indicating completion of required seismic retrofit work. Multiple 311 calls from 2023-2024 have been documented around the building's vicinity, including recent infrastructure maintenance requests and environmental concerns, though these are not directly related to the building's residential facilities.

Risk rating

How 234-246 Euclid Ave'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
14thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 234 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
