Rent & eviction protection

Is 467-469 28Th 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 1917

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.

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-unit residential building at 467-469 28th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1917, currently owned by Joe C. Chen. The property has a significant history of permit activity and violations, particularly evident in 2003 when unauthorized remodeling work triggered multiple building violations, including the installation of an unpermitted kitchen in the garage area. Compliance work carried out in 2003 included the removal of the unauthorized kitchen, rebuilding the rear stairs, and adding a laundry and half-bath on the ground floor, with associated costs totaling over $100,000. The building underwent further improvements in 2021 with bathroom repiping work, though this permit has since expired.

More recent history shows several maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple 311 calls between 2013 and 2024 regarding garbage container management, sidewalk parking violations, and utility-related sidewalk damage. The most recent 311 calls in 2023 and 2024 were related to vehicles parking on the sidewalk, though these cases were either resolved or the vehicles were unable to be located. While there was one recorded fire incident involving a false alarm, there were no civilian injuries associated with this event. The building has maintained a relatively low level of recent complaints or violations, with the last major compliance issue from 2003 being resolved and abated by 2010.

Risk rating

How 467-469 28Th 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
47thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1192 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
