Rent & eviction protection

Is 362-364 5Th 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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 two-unit residential building at 362-364 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Lui/Cheung Family Trust, was constructed in 1900 and spans two stories. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple regulatory issues over the past decade and a half. Most notably, in early 2024, there was a concerning incident involving flooding in one bedroom following a rainstorm, with reports of mushy walls and inadequate response from management. In 2008-2009, the building underwent substantial renovations totaling approximately $87,000, including kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, electrical improvements, and window replacements. However, this work triggered multiple code violations, particularly regarding unpermitted construction and drainage issues in the rear yard, which required abatement proceedings and were finally resolved by April 2010. Additional complications arose during this period with gas wall heater flues that required correction.

The building's history reveals ongoing maintenance challenges and resident concerns, including earlier issues from the late 1990s involving roof leaks, water damage, and appliance problems. Historical complaints from 2004 indicate unauthorized construction work and noise disturbances. More recent maintenance activities include stair replacement work in 2009, though this too was initially triggered by a violation complaint. The property has also been the subject of numerous 311 calls primarily related to parking issues and basic maintenance matters in the surrounding area, with the most recent calls in 2023-2024. While many of these past violations and complaints have been resolved, the recent flooding incident raises concerns about the building's current maintenance state and responsiveness to tenant issues.

Risk rating

How 362-364 5Th 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
28thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1241 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
