Rent & eviction protection

Is 631-633 Masonic 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.

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.

Built 1917
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 631-633 Masonic Ave, located in the Park North neighborhood, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1917, currently owned by the Marian O Ivan Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work involving kitchen and bathroom remodeling in the lower unit in 2015, including plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling $20,000. Earlier improvements included a comprehensive window replacement project in 2013 (20 windows) and substantial electrical system upgrades, including a new 200-amp underground service with three meters completed in 2008. The property has seen significant infrastructure improvements, including a complete plumbing repipe and new water service installation in 2011, installation of two tankless water heaters in 2010, and sewer line replacement work completed in 2008.

Recent maintenance and resident experience issues have primarily revolved around sewer and parking concerns. There have been two documented sewer-related incidents in 2022-2021, including a flooding incident in November 2022 that required PUC Sewer Operations intervention. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly regarding bicycle lane obstructions and sidewalk parking, with multiple reports filed between 2020-2023. While most of the building's historical records show proper maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, including roofing (1999), the frequency of sewer-related incidents in recent years and ongoing concerns about parking enforcement suggest these remain areas of attention for the property and surrounding neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 631-633 Masonic 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
73rdpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 215 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.

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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