Rent & eviction protection

Is 462 22Nd 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 1963
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 1963
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 multi-family residential building at 462 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades since its construction in 1963. Most recently, in 2023, Unit #1 received an interior remodel including kitchen and bathroom renovations, with associated plumbing and electrical work costing $20,000. The building completed its seismic retrofit as a Tier 3 soft-story project, with work including foundation and structural upgrades, and installed a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the first floor in 2017. Between 2017-2023, multiple units (1, 2, and 5) have received kitchen and bathroom remodels, and important infrastructure improvements have been made including electrical panel upgrades, solar power system installation, and new furnace replacements.

The building has a history of addressing safety and compliance issues, with notable violations in 2000 related to fire safety systems and egress obstructations, all of which were abated by March 2001. Concerns were raised in 2017 about halted seismic work, but this was subsequently completed. Two significant tenant buyouts occurred in late 2016 and early 2017, totaling $100,000 for four tenants, and there have been regular maintenance and safety system upgrades including smoke detector installations and electrical system improvements. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes through multiple permit applications and completed necessary work, though there were some periods of construction pauses and permit-related issues as noted in complaints. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external matters like parking and street cleaning.

Risk rating

How 462 22Nd 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1980 are predicted to be safer.

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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.6%
Moderate concern 33.6%
Severe concern 12.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
