Rent & eviction protection

Is 337 22Nd 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 1925
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 1925
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 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 337 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1925 and is currently owned by John P Guiral 2018 Revoc Lv. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates over the years, including a $20,000 reroofing project in 2004 and the replacement of its heating systems in 2012, when a new steam boiler and domestic hot water system were installed. The building experienced multiple fire safety issues in 2003-2004, when several violations were documented regarding the central alarm system, fire proofing, smoke enclosure doors, fire escape maintenance, and the need for proper building permits - all of which were ultimately abated by February 2004. More recent fire safety concerns emerged in 2019 and 2017, specifically involving alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and blocked exits, though these issues were also promptly corrected.

The building's maintenance history shows some ongoing infrastructure challenges, with a water leak complaint filed in October 2019. Recent years have seen numerous 311 calls related to street maintenance and cleaning, particularly concerning garbage and debris management (with the most recent case from June 2024), though these are external issues not directly related to building maintenance. There have been two fire incident reports on record, one related to water problems and the other concerning elevator service. The building's permit history includes various routine maintenance and infrastructure improvements, reflecting standard upkeep for a property of its age and size.

Risk rating

How 337 22Nd 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
1stpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2228 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
