Rent & eviction protection

Is 319 24Th 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 1971

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.

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 319 24th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1971 and owned by Gordon Fong & Judy Lee Living Trust, this building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the years. Most recently, in early 2019, there was a complaint regarding a collapsed tree impacting both the building and the neighboring property at 318 25th Avenue. The building has a documented history of paint-related concerns, particularly in late 2017 when inspections revealed peeling paint with potential lead hazard implications, along with requirements to address damaged wood at the garage door framing - these issues were officially abated by March 2018. Earlier, in 2003, the building faced fire safety concerns, including violations related to fire proofing materials and combustible storage, though these were also resolved by March 2018. The only maintenance work on record is a reroofing project completed in 1997.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls between 2019-2021, primarily relating to street-related issues such as abandoned vehicles and parking enforcement matters, none of which directly pertain to building conditions or resident safety. While the building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, all documented violations have been officially abated, with no active violations or complaints currently on record. The most recent documented issues, including the lead paint concerns, were resolved through proper remediation procedures, and there have been no similar complaints in the past five years.

Risk rating

How 319 24Th 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
71stpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 652 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.

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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
