Rent & eviction protection

Is 360 32Nd 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 1960
2 or more units

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 1960
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 16-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 360 32nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Kwan Nicholas & Marcella, is a 1960 construction that has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2024, the building has required attention to both its structural safety and maintenance, with permits issued for repairs to dry rot at exterior stairs and landing areas, as well as replacement of decorative wood trim at the front of the building. There are ongoing concerns regarding the building's soft story compliance, as it is currently listed as "Non-Compliant" under Tier 2 status, with a 2022 Active complaint regarding the soft story program still pending resolution. The building has a history of various maintenance and safety issues, including fire safety concerns in 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, a 2006 complaint about problematic roof drainage affecting adjacent property, and multiple renovation projects including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2008-2009. The property has undergone electrical and plumbing updates during these renovations, and significant structural work was completed in 2017 for soft story retrofit compliance following complaints in 2016.

The building has faced occasional maintenance challenges, such as reported lead paint concerns in July 2024 and a construction-related noise complaint from July 12, 2024. Historical violations from the early 2000s included interior surface issues, mold/mildew problems, and fire safety violations, all of which were subsequently resolved. The property has undergone several routine housing inspections, with most issues being addressed properly, though some more recent repairs and compliance matters are still open or pending resolution. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both structural and cosmetic improvements, though the current soft story compliance status indicates there may still be outstanding structural safety concerns that require attention.

Risk rating

How 360 32Nd 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2182 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
