Rent & eviction protection

Is 367 4Th 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 1916
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 1916
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, 2-story multi-family residential building at 367 4th Avenue in the Inner Richmond was built in 1916 and is currently owned by the Jennifer Kwok Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $25,000, and receiving a new roof in 2019 costing $8,900. Window upgrades were completed in 2007 with the installation of double-hung windows throughout the building. While the property experienced multiple safety violations in 2001, including issues with fire safety equipment and egress obstructions, all were promptly addressed and abated by July 27, 2001. A routine safety inspection in 2015 identified the need for fire extinguisher servicing, which was also resolved. Recent history shows recurring maintenance has been performed on the property, with permits for street space usage issued in 2015 and 2018, though specific details of these permits are not provided in the records.

The building's location has generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2024 involving garbage and debris removal. These external maintenance issues, however, appear to be routine urban challenges rather than building-specific problems. The property's documented history suggests regular maintenance and compliance with safety requirements, with all identified issues being addressed in a timely manner. The building's soft-story retrofit completion demonstrates adherence to seismic safety requirements, and the recent roof replacement indicates ongoing investment in building maintenance. The most recent building inspection data shows no active violations or complaints, suggesting the property is currently in good standing with relevant housing codes and regulations.

Risk rating

How 367 4Th 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
79thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 362 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
