Rent & eviction protection

Is 354 11Th 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 1906
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 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

This three-unit multi-family residential building, located at 354 11th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by Irwin J & Yvonne H Cotton R. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, including two reroofing projects (in 2000 and 2013) and a major electrical upgrade in 2018 that involved installing a 125A overhead service with four meters and rewiring one of the units. In early 2017, the property underwent routine safety inspections that revealed multiple security and safety concerns, including the need for proper locks, solid core doors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various plumbing and electrical compliance issues. These violations were documented in multiple notices, though their current status is listed as "Not active," suggesting they have been addressed, however, no specific abatement dates are provided in the records. More recent activity includes a street space permit issued in December 2015 and two 311 calls from 2014 and 2024 related to parking and illegal postings, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

The most significant cluster of violations occurred in February 2017, involving multiple categories including security, building safety, plumbing, and electrical requirements. These violations included the need for 1/2" throw deadlatch locks, solid core door requirements, carbon monoxide alarm installation, and various plumbing and electrical code compliance issues. While the violations are listed as "Not active," indicating they may have been resolved, the lack of specific abatement dates in the records should be noted. The building has also undergone routine maintenance including roofing work (in 2000 and 2013) and electrical system upgrades (in 2018), suggesting regular upkeep by the owners. The most recent complaint regarding the building was filed in 2024 concerning sidewalk parking, though this is a street-related issue rather than a building condition matter.

Risk rating

How 354 11Th 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
21stpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1361 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
