Inner Richmond, SF 94118 1442015 6 units · 2 fl · 1961

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 369 10Th 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 1961
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.

Built 1961
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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 369 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1961, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $80,000, in accordance with San Francisco Building Code requirements, achieving Tier 4 compliance with a certificate of final completion issued. The building has maintained a focus on safety improvements, addressing multiple fire safety violations in 2002 and 2010 related to fire escapes, fire extinguishers, and smoke enclosure doors, all of which were resolved promptly. Two solar domestic hot water systems were installed in 1984, and in the same year, there were repairs made to walls and windows.

Recent activities regarding the property have primarily involved routine maintenance and external matters, including various street space permits and sidewalk repairs, with the most recent significant building-related permit being a street space permit issued in 2019. There have been no active building violations or serious safety concerns in recent years, and a 2024 complaint regarding garbage and debris, while addressed, was determined to require no further action. Two carbon monoxide detector activations were recorded in recent years, one being a malfunction and the other showing no actual CO presence, with no civilian injuries reported in either instance. The building has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1996, 2002, and 2010, with all issues being resolved and no recurring problems identified in recent years. The property has experienced typical urban neighborhood issues such as street cleaning needs and illegal postings, but these do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 369 10Th 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
20thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1378 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
