Rent & eviction protection

Is 357-359 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 1972

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 1972
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, four-unit multi-family residential building at 357-359 11th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Fay Wah Lee Trust, was constructed in 1972. The most recent significant maintenance occurred in July 2023, involving repairs to a 4x4 foot water-damaged ceiling, gutter replacement, and roof sealing, costing $10,000. The building has a history of fire safety violations from February 2002, including issues with garbage receptacle sprinklers, combustible storage, fire proofing materials, smoke detectors, and door closers, though all these violations were promptly abated by March 11, 2002. Additional historical complaints show maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2004 complaint about non-functioning exhaust systems and dirty overhead fans, and a 2002 complaint regarding inadequate hallway lighting. A complete reroofing project was completed in 1992, and since then, the building's maintenance records show sporadic issues primarily related to water damage and various systems requiring attention.

In recent years, the property has generated several 311 calls primarily related to street cleaning and garbage issues around the building, with multiple reports of debris, including furniture and glass, between 2021 and 2024. There was also a parking enforcement issue in 2022 regarding a blocked driveway, and a rent board matter in early 2022 that was resolved with payment confirmation. The most recent maintenance issue involved two reports of abandoned furniture on July 24, 2024, though these were marked as private property violations. The building's documented history shows prompt attention to safety violations when they occurred, with all identified issues being resolved, though there are some recurring maintenance concerns that appear to require periodic attention.

Risk rating

How 357-359 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
84thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 276 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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