Rent & eviction protection

Is 401-403 32Nd 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 1928

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 property at 3101 Clement Street is a 2-story, 4-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Angela Li. The building is undergoing a significant transformation, with recent major changes focusing on converting existing commercial spaces into childcare facilities. Most notably, the ground floor salon is being converted into a daycare center for 2 to 5-year-olds, with additional changes planned for the second floor office space. This conversion includes comprehensive safety upgrades, with the installation of a new fire sprinkler system (completed January 2024), a fire alarm emergency communication system (completed February 2024), and associated electrical and plumbing work.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and accessibility, with previous improvements including roof repairs in 2016, ADA door opener installations in 2014, and a substantial remodel of a former office space into a hair salon in 2014. The property has maintained compliance with safety requirements, as evidenced by recent fire safety improvements. While there have been several instances of garbage and debris issues reported through 311 calls in 2024 (all resolved), none appear to be directly related to building safety or habitability concerns. The most recent building modifications indicate a strong focus on creating a safe and accessible childcare environment, with appropriate permits and safety systems being installed as part of the conversion process.

Risk rating

How 401-403 32Nd 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 593 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
