Rent & eviction protection

Is 466 23Rd 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 1961

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 1961
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

This two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located at 466 23rd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1961 and is currently owned by Ta Lvg Tr. The property underwent a mandatory soft story retrofit in 2017-2018, costing $80,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has seen several maintenance and upgrade efforts over the years, including window replacements in 2006 (replacing aluminum windows with vinyl dual-glazed ones), bathroom renovations in one unit (2005), and a water heater replacement in 2009. Of particular note, the building experienced a series of fire safety violations in March 2002 related to smoke enclosure door closers, fire proofing, and fire escape ladder maintenance, though all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by April 2002.

Recent history of the building shows no major internal safety violations or building code issues since 2002. The property has had periodic street-related complaints, primarily regarding parking violations and sidewalk blockages, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2023. There have been a few instances of street cleaning issues noted through 311 calls between 2019 and 2022. A single minor cooking-related fire incident was recorded, though it was contained and resulted in no civilian injuries. The building appears to be generally well-maintained, with the most significant recent improvements focusing on exterior and safety aspects, particularly the completed soft story retrofit which places the building in Tier 3 status with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued.

Risk rating

How 466 23Rd 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
20thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1800 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
