Rent & eviction protection

Is 239-241 11Th 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 1905
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.

Built 1905
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 239-241 11th Avenue is a 2-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, containing three units and currently owned by Donna M. Lee. The building has undergone substantial renovation work in 2023-2024, including a major $290,000 project involving bedroom additions, bathroom remodels, media room installation, and window replacements. This was followed by foundation work costing $35,000, with accompanying revisions to footing details, and the installation of new plumbing and electrical systems throughout all three floors, including new water heaters, furnaces, and panels in September 2024. Historical records indicate several maintenance issues and violations between 2006 and 2021, including unauthorized construction, plumbing and electrical work, lead paint concerns, and various repairs needed for doors, windows, and plumbing systems. Most of these issues were resolved by January 2022, with the exception of some earlier complaints regarding an allegedly illegal unit and construction in 2006, which were addressed through code enforcement.

The building's recent renovation activity suggests significant investment in improving the property's condition, though it follows a history of past compliance issues and unpermitted work. The extensive foundation work and simultaneous upgrades to utilities and systems indicate a comprehensive approach to modernizing the building. Parking-related complaints have been the most frequent recent issues, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between 2016 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The property underwent a tenant buyout in June 2022 involving four tenants and a payment of $86,405.48.

Risk rating

How 239-241 11Th 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.
