Rent & eviction protection

Is 320 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 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 3-story, 12-unit apartment building at 320 11th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Yinming Investment Co, has undergone several important safety upgrades and faced recurring maintenance challenges since its 1961 construction. Most recently, in August 2024, the building completed a significant fire alarm system upgrade costing $39,200 to meet current San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and new compatible devices. The building achieved compliance with San Francisco's Soft Story Seismic Retrofit program in 2016, demonstrating attention to structural safety.

Historical records show consistent building maintenance issues, particularly relating to water intrusion and mold. Between 2002-2013, multiple complaints were filed regarding water damage, including significant flooding incidents in 2011 and 2013, along with recurring reports of mold and ventilation issues. A cluster of violations was recorded in 2002 related to fire safety and building maintenance, including fire proofing, fire escape maintenance, laundry room ventilation, and various general safety requirements, though these were all abated by July 2002. The building has experienced periodic fire alarm system issues, with documented complaints in 2023, 2020, and 2019, though these were generally resolved promptly, with one violation in 2020 related to alarm system maintenance being officially abated. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and waste removal, indicating typical urban maintenance concerns in the vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 320 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1689 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
