Rent & eviction protection

Is 184-186 10Th 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 1922

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 1922
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 building at 184-186 10th Avenue is a two-story, 7-unit multi-family residential structure located in the Lake--Presidio neighborhood. Built in 1922 and currently owned by Survivors Trust The Credit, this apartment building has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2023-2024, there was an important electrical system upgrade with the installation of 200-amp service due to a fire-related issue, marking one of the more serious safety-related events on record. The property has seen substantial maintenance and improvements, including a comprehensive renovation in 2013 involving kitchen and bathroom updates, and in 2009, there were significant structural upgrades including the installation of steel diagonal bracing and ordinary moment frame ($45,000), complete reroofing ($14,000), and replacement of 26 aluminum windows ($55,000).

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, with permits for sidewalk repairs, street space usage, and minor structural work including dry rot repairs to exterior stairwell components (though this last permit expired in 2002). Recent activity in 2024 has primarily involved municipal service calls for various street maintenance issues including garbage management, tree maintenance, and graffiti removal, indicating ongoing attention to the building's surroundings. While there was one recorded fire-related incident (a false alarm), no civilian injuries were reported. The property has maintained compliance with basic maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of 311 calls and completion of various building permits, though the recent electrical upgrade suggests there may have been prior electrical system concerns that necessitated this important safety-related improvement.

Risk rating

How 184-186 10Th 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
6thpercentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 620 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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