Rent & eviction protection

Is 378 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 1969
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 1969
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 378 24th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1969 in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by Chuck L & Barbara Rev Wong. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant improvements including the installation of 23 new windows in 2014 (19 Simonton windows on the side and back, plus 4 fiberglass windows in front), a garden shed addition in 2004, and a completed reroofing project in 1993. The building has undergone three routine housing inspections (1996, 2003, and 2008), all of which were completed without any noted ongoing issues.

Recent activity includes some minor municipal service requests, such as Christmas tree removal (2023), paint shop service (2022), and public works requests (2017). However, it is important to note a significant and recent development: on December 16, 2024, multiple fire code violations were documented at the property, specifically related to an ERCCS permit requirement, which has been referred to a hearing for resolution. This fire violation, while still under consideration as of the latest records, represents the only current unresolved compliance issue in the building's documented history. The property has maintained a relatively clean safety and maintenance record over its history, with regular improvements and no pattern of recurring issues noted in the available data.

Risk rating

How 378 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
64thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 810 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.
