Rent & eviction protection

Is 450-452 31St 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 1900
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 450-452 31st Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Mastrokyriakos Nikolaos, has undergone several significant renovations and faced notable challenges over its history, dating back to 1900. The most recent improvements include substantial 2020 renovations amounting to over $30,000 for bathroom and kitchen remodeling, along with electrical upgrades that installed additional outlets and lighting throughout the unit, a new 70-amp sub panel, and furnace replacement. These improvements followed a concerning period in 2019 when the building experienced serious maintenance issues, including water damage affecting multiple rooms with electrical concerns, damaged ceilings, and mold problems—issues that were officially documented and subsequently abated by December 2023. Earlier renovations from 2007-2008 involved bathroom and kitchen remodeling, exterior repairs, and infrastructure improvements including new water lines and gas lines.

The building's history shows a pattern of regular maintenance and upgrading, with significant work completed in the late 1980s to bring the building up to code (costing $10,000), multiple bathroom and kitchen renovations, and various infrastructure improvements. Several plumbing, electrical, and building permits demonstrate ongoing investment in the property's modernization and maintenance, though there have been some instances of expired permits in the past. A historical complaint from 1995 regarding a possible illegal dwelling unit in the basement of a rear yard cottage was resolved within one month. The building has also experienced occasional exterior and parking-related issues, as documented in recent 311 calls, though these are typically routine urban living challenges rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 450-452 31St 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
69thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 698 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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