Rent & eviction protection

Is 343-345 15Th 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1922
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 property at 343-345 15th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, built in 1922 and currently owned by the Jonathan Quoc Tran Revoc Trust. The building has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past decade, including three separate siding projects (most recently fiber cement installation in 2022, following previous replacements in 2019 and 2013), a complete reroofing in 2020, and substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2010-2011 that included a 200-amp service upgrade with three meters, new bathroom and laundry installations, and comprehensive plumbing work for both units.

The property has had some compliance issues that have since been resolved. Most notably, there was an investigation in 2017 regarding an unauthorized wet bar installation in the lower rear area, which was confirmed to have been illegally converted from approved office/media room space. This led to a complaint about an unauthorized dwelling unit, which was eventually abated in May 2017 after the owner capped off an illegal kitchen that had been operating as a short-term rental. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates and improvements, including bathroom renovations, garage modifications, and various infrastructure upgrades, suggesting active property management. Recent records from 2024 indicate typical urban issues such as parking enforcement calls and temporary move-related signage, with no recorded building violations or complaints affecting the property's habitability or safety.

Risk rating

How 343-345 15Th 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
97thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 68 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
