Rent & eviction protection

Is 419 24Th 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 1922
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.

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 419 24th Avenue, a 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922 in the Central Richmond neighborhood, has experienced several significant issues over the past decade that could impact resident quality of life. Most notably, in February 2020, there was a serious complaint regarding mold, pest problems (mice), lack of fire alarms, and an improperly sealed garage door, though this case remains in "Not Active" status without clear resolution. The building has also faced unauthorized construction concerns, with a complaint filed in September 2016 regarding work being done without proper permits. In late 2011, there was an investigation into a possible illegal third unit in the ground floor area, which reportedly contained a kitchen, bathroom, and separate entrance, though this case was officially closed within two weeks.

More recent incidents have primarily involved external factors, including multiple noise complaints about amplified sound electronics in 2021, several parking enforcement issues with vehicles blocking driveways in 2024 and 2020, and some infrastructure concerns. These infrastructure issues include a hazardous materials incident involving liquids (potentially oil or paint) in July 2020, graffiti on the building in 2019, a collapsed sidewalk issue in February 2019 that required emergency repair work, and concerns about a debris box in early 2018. The building's ownership, listed as Hiebert John, has had to address various compliance and maintenance matters over the years, though many of these historical complaints have been resolved through official channels.

Risk rating

How 419 24Th 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1755 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
