Rent & eviction protection

Is 375 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 before 1979
Built 1959
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 1959
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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 375 24th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1959, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $70,000) and has since received a Tier 3 Work Complete designation with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. In 2022-2023, the building's fire safety systems were comprehensively updated, including the installation of new fire alarm components with low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, smoke detectors, heat detectors, and horn/strobes, bringing the building into compliance with current fire safety codes.

The property has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly concerning water management and interior conditions. A significant cluster of violations was documented in 2016, including issues with drainage pipes, interior surfaces, mold/mildew, ventilation, and fire safety systems, though these were all officially abated by October 2019. Historical records from 2014 noted problems with mold on bedroom walls and damaged windows, while water heater replacements were completed in both 2018 and most recently in April 2024, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain the building's infrastructure. The building has undergone various repairs over the years, including dry rot remediation in multiple areas as evidenced by permits from 1995, 2017, and most recently in 2023 for the installation of new plumbing infrastructure. The property owner appears to be actively maintaining the building, with all recent permits marked as complete, though the building has a history of moisture-related issues that have required attention over multiple years.

Risk rating

How 375 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
