Rent & eviction protection

Is 932-934 Central 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 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.

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 property at 932-934 Central Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jonathan G Britton. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably in 2022-2023 when two additional dwelling units were successfully added to the ground floor, bringing the total unit count to four. This conversion included comprehensive upgrades such as new kitchens, bathrooms, and associated plumbing work, with a total investment of approximately $84,000. In parallel, major safety enhancements were implemented including a $30,000 fire sprinkler system installation for the ground floor and new underground fire services, followed by the recent addition of a sprinkler monitoring system in June 2023. The building underwent a voluntary partial seismic upgrade in March 2022 at a cost of $240,000, demonstrating a commitment to structural integrity and resident safety.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, including a documented incident of dry rot damage in 2021, where drywall was removed and replaced due to roof and siding leaks. Historical records show recurring sewer-related issues, with three sewage backup incidents reported between 2009-2019, though these appear to have been resolved through appropriate maintenance. The building's systems have been modernized with a 400-amp electrical upgrade in 2022 and the installation of heating and cooling systems, including heat pumps, in 2022-2023. While the property has experienced various infrastructure challenges typical of its age (including plumbing and electrical system upgrades), recent improvements suggest proactive management and investment in building maintenance and modernization.

Risk rating

How 932-934 Central 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
99thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 8 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
