Rent & eviction protection

Is 295 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.

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 5-unit, 3-story apartment building at 295 11th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Nguyen Kelly & Dien, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1905. Most recently, in October 2022, there was a concerning report of a blocked fire escape by an awning, and between December 2024 and January 2025, multiple 311 calls were received regarding garbage and debris problems. The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with a 2012 incident involving blocked exits, alarm system issues, and fire extinguisher problems, all of which were marked as "Condition Corrected." During 2003-2004, the building faced multiple violations that required attention to interior surfaces, egress obstructions, floor coverings, water damage, and the central alarm system, all of which were eventually abated by September 2005.

The property has undergone various repairs and improvements over the years, including bathroom refurbishments in 2012, garbage room sprinkler installations in 2004, and garage conversions in 2001. There have been multiple water-related issues documented, with complaints about leaks, mold, and window problems noted in 2011, as well as electrical violations in 2004. In 2012, there was a brief period of unauthorized remodeling, though this was addressed by early 2013. The building's exterior has received attention as well, with permits issued for stucco repair in 1999, and more recent sidewalk and street space improvements in 2003. While many historical violations have been resolved, the building continues to face periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding waste management as evidenced by recent 311 reports.

Risk rating

How 295 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.

Neighborhood percentile
10thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1551 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
