Rent & eviction protection

Is 500-502 35Th 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 1936

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 multi-family residential building at 500-502 35th Avenue in the Outer Richmond, built in 1936, is currently undergoing significant renovations as of summer 2023, with permits issued for converting garage space into habitable bedrooms and a bathroom, along with kitchen remodeling and furnace replacements in both units. The property has maintained an active schedule of improvements and maintenance over the years, including a 2024 upgrade to 95% AFUE ultra low NOx furnaces, relocation of water heaters in early 2025, and substantial plumbing work including bathroom, laundry, and kitchen updates in mid-2024. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural and safety issues, such as dry rot repairs to rear stairs in 2013, roof replacement in 2003, and multiple kitchen and bathroom renovations in the early 2000s.

Recent activity indicates attention to building systems and infrastructure, with a focus on energy efficiency through furnace replacements and plumbing updates. The property has experienced some neighborhood maintenance issues, as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily related to parking violations and illegal postings, but these incidents appear to be exterior to the building itself. A tree inspection in 2022 noted some damage but determined the tree was not a removal candidate. While there was one historical fire incident involving a power line issue, it resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's ownership has been under the Suzanne Bette Weinberg family trust since 2018, and the property has undergone various improvements while maintaining compliance with local building codes and regulations.

Risk rating

How 500-502 35Th 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
96thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 42 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.

Neighborhood location

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

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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