Rent & eviction protection

Is 367 27Th Ave rent-controlled?

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 1997
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 two-unit residential building at 367 27th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Sam & Emma Chow Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1997 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling and garage in December 1992. This two-story flats and duplex structure, valued at $310,000 at the time of construction, has undergone several significant maintenance updates over the years. Most recently, in January 2025, a 40-gallon water heater was replaced in the laundry room of unit A, marking the latest infrastructure improvement. The building's roofing has been maintained through regular updates, with the most recent reroofing project permitted in January 2018 costing $11,000. Earlier permits from the 1990s include a revision to the foundation work in 1995 and the original construction permits from 1992.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly concerning driveway blocking. Records show five documented incidents between 2020 and 2023, with the most recent occurring in September 2023 involving a Honda Element. Previous violations during this period included documented cases with vehicles such as a Toyota Tacoma, Mercedes-Benz S550, and a Toyota RAV4. One sidewalk parking violation was reported in November 2021, and a street cleaning issue involving loose garbage was addressed in September 2020. While these parking enforcement matters have been resolved through proper channels, they suggest ongoing challenges with parking compliance in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 367 27Th 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
90thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 225 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
