Rent & eviction protection

Is 355 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 1964
2 or more units
15 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

Built 1964
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 15-unit apartment building at 355 24th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Mwc Waverly LLC, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1964. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2014 (with a cost of $40,000), and multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2016 and 2017 affecting units 203, 205, and 301, totaling approximately $65,000 in improvements. The property has maintained attention to basic infrastructure needs, with previous work including window replacements (1999), reroofing (2004), and fire safety system maintenance.

Recent concerns center around fire safety compliance, with violations issued in October 2024 for alarm system maintenance and exits/fire escape issues, though these have been marked as abated. Historical building complaints indicate various maintenance challenges between 2005 and 2018, including issues with heating systems, water leaks, and appliance functionality, though most have been resolved. The building has experienced recurring fire system-related inspections and maintenance needs, with multiple fire alarm system and exit maintenance corrections required between 2018 and 2024. Five fire-related incidents have been recorded, all of which were minor with no civilian injuries reported. While the building has demonstrated regular upkeep through permits and repairs, including a successful completion of the soft-story retrofit program, the recent fire safety violations suggest ongoing monitoring of life safety systems is necessary. The property has also generated multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning and debris removal, though these are external to the building's maintenance responsibilities.

Risk rating

How 355 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
1stpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2228 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Fire Complaint Jun 11
Fire Escape
Planning RecordMar 25
3/25/26 at approximately 9:15am, roofing work began on the adjacent building to our apartment. I observed visible smoke and odor coming through the baseboard of our living room. I alerted the roofing crew, who said it was non toxic, and showed me the material they were burning and said it was “GTA.” I observed them holding up a black plastic roll that appeared to be a plastic sheet like material. I immediately opened all windows, turned on the exhaust fans, and put air purifier. Within less than 5 minutes of exposure, I became ill with a headache, nausea, dizziness, itchy throat, coughing, and itchy skin. I immediately evacuated the building upon onset of symptoms. I called my property management company and requested urgent help. They directed me to file a police report. I was assessed by paramedics and told my vitals appeared normal but my symptoms were consistent with a cute toxic fume inhalation, and given a CAD report by SFPD. I followed up with my property management company. All parties advised me to remain away from my unit while it aired out. The majority of sympotoms have stopped after one hour of being away from my unit, but I still have a headache nearly 4 hours after initial exposure. Total exposure time was less than 10 minutes as I had to evacuate my animals as well. They do not appear ill. My windows are still open and I have returned after they completed the roofing work to assess odor, which is still present but decreased as of 1pm.
