Rent & eviction protection

Is 322 30Th 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 1926
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 1926
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 three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 322 30th Avenue in the Central Richmond district, built in 1926, is currently undergoing significant renovations and improvements, with multiple active building permits in 2024-2025. The property has a documented history of seismic safety concerns, being classified as Tier 3 Non-Compliant in the Soft Story Program with an active violation filed in October 2022 regarding failure to complete mandatory retrofit work and obtain final approval.

The building conversion from six to seven units (including an ADU) was permitted under San Francisco's Ordinance 162-16, with associated improvements including a new fire sprinkler system and utility modifications.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over its history, including security violations in 2003 (resolved) regarding fire escape ladders and door locks, and multiple violations in 2008 related to egress obstructions, gas meter instructions, and combustible storage. A significant complaint filed in October 2022 regarding lack of gas service during construction and multiple routine inspections have been conducted over the years. Infrastructure improvements have focused on structural safety, including retaining wall replacements, concrete work, and utility upgrades, though some plumbing and fire safety permits have expired or require reinstatement. Recent exterior work includse graffiti removal in 2019 and sidewalk repairs, with multiple 311 calls regarding parking and vehicle issues recorded in recent years. The building's ongoing renovation activity suggests active management but also indicates some challenges in completing required safety upgrades and maintaining consistent utility service during construction phases.

Risk rating

How 322 30Th 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 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2115 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
