Rent & eviction protection

Is 330-332 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.

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 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 330-332 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Lui-cheung Family Trust, was constructed in 1905 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2012, major renovations were completed including a comprehensive remodel of a third-floor unit's kitchen, bathroom, and living spaces, along with electrical upgrades (installation of 200-amp service with four meters) and mechanical systems work (replacement of water heater and furnace) at a cost of $30,000. The building has also seen important safety improvements, including the rebuilding of existing rear stairs for improved egress in 2002 following a tragic incident involving a tenant fall due to low railing, and routine maintenance such as roofing work completed that same year.

The property experienced a violation inspection in November 2004 that identified multiple safety concerns, including issues with emergency exits, fire safety equipment, and garbage storage, though all of these violations were abated by December 2004. The most recent building inspection on record was conducted in 2016 and no active violations are currently outstanding. Recent maintenance history shows periodic attention to basic systems, including a water heater replacement in 2016. The property has generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily relating to street cleaning issues outside the building, with the most recent being a general cleaning request in December 2023.

Risk rating

How 330-332 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
35thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1120 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
