Rent & eviction protection

Is 510-512 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.

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 1923
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 8-unit, 3-story apartment building at 510-512 24th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Lana Bondar 2 LLC, was built in 1923 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed a $60,000 residential soft-story retrofit in 2018 to comply with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements, earning a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) under Tier 4 status. Recent concerns have emerged in 2022-2023, including complaints about wooden staircase conditions, inadequate lighting, ventilation issues, and mold problems affecting unit walls. There was a particularly serious incident in February 2023 involving unpermitted work with polyurethane coatings that allegedly produced toxic fumes affecting neighboring units, though this complaint was later marked as Not Active in March 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with stairway structures, particularly the rear stairs, requiring repairs due to dry rot and other damage in 2005, 2008, and 2010. Earlier violations from 2000 included multiple fire safety and plumbing concerns, all of which were abated by September 2000. The property has experienced several false alarms and system malfunctions related to its fire alarm and carbon monoxide detection systems between 2006 and recent years, though none resulted in injuries. More recently, between December 2024 and January 2025, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues near the property, with Recology responding to at least ten such incidents during this period.

Risk rating

How 510-512 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
6thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2115 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
