Rent & eviction protection

Is 2-4 Encanto 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 1948

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 1948
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 two-unit residential building at 2-4 Encanto Avenue in Anza Vista, owned by Timmy Terry Tung and Ka Zhang, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1948. The property has seen substantial updating over the past decade, with major work including a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2014 ($30,000), window replacements in 2013 ($16,000), and various electrical upgrades. Most recently, in 2023, the building received electrical improvements including rewiring of kitchen and bathroom fixtures, along with a 8.10 kW solar panel system installation completed in early 2024. The building has maintained active compliance with permit requirements, though there were some historical concerns in 1995 regarding unauthorized modifications and mold issues, which were addressed at that time.

Recent maintenance work includes siding repairs and front stair improvements filed in October 2023. The property has gone through several attempts to add an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) between 2018-2022, though these permits were withdrawn and not completed. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to plumbing systems, including bathroom renovations and kitchen updates, with all recent work receiving proper permits and inspections. There have been multiple parking enforcement issues reported in recent months (2024), with several citations issued for illegal parking in the vicinity of the property, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition or management. The most recent fire incident recorded was a false alarm with no civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 2-4 Encanto 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 23 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

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

Building age

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