Rent & eviction protection

Is 369-375 7Th 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.

Built 1906
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-story multi-family residential building at 369-375 7th Avenue was constructed in 1906 and contains 4 units. The property, currently owned by Jerrick John Choy, has undergone numerous renovations and improvements over the past several years, with significant work completed between 2018 and 2024. Most recently, in December 2024, there was an active complaint regarding unsafe stair conditions, with a tenant reporting multiple falls and expressing concerns about using the stairs, which were previously indicated to be for emergency use only. This complaint is particularly concerning given the building's lack of an elevator. The property has seen substantial maintenance and upgrades including siding replacement, door upgrades, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and window replacements. Notable improvements include the 2023 completion of siding and door work ($28,000), a kitchen remodel in 2023 ($47,583), and multiple window replacements in 2018 ($45,000). Historical violations from 2001 related to fire safety, smoke detection, and various other maintenance issues were abated by April 2001. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including problems with heat, mold, and rodents in 2018, along with storage and safety concerns in 2007. Recent years have shown consistent efforts by the owner to maintain and upgrade the property, though the recent stair safety complaint raises concerns about ongoing maintenance and safety oversight.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, window replacements, and staircase repairs. Recent electrical and plumbing work (2023) included bathroom and kitchen remodeling, furnace replacement, and additional electrical outlets installation. The property has had multiple routine inspections, with several violations noted and later resolved. While many maintenance issues appear to have been addressed over time, the most recent stair safety complaint from December 2024 suggests potential ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has experienced periodic issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls, though these are not directly related to building conditions or tenant safety. The recent pattern of consistent renovations and upgrades, combined with historical completion of various inspection requirements, indicates an active approach to building maintenance, though the recent stair safety concerns highlight an area needing attention.

Risk rating

How 369-375 7Th 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
58thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 724 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
