Rent & eviction protection

Is 430-432 3Rd 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 1900

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 1900
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 430-432 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing two units and owned by Ada Ching Leung. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2018-2019 (cost: $25,000), comprehensive renovations in 2017-2018 including bathroom additions, laundry facilities, and a new 200-amp service installation. A major permit revision in 2022 ($52,350) converted glass to wood with stucco finishes at the rear sunroom. The building's safety measures have been upgraded with a new fire alarm monitoring system installed in 2021 ($8,000), though there was a fire safety issue in 2018 involving blocked exits which was promptly corrected.

Recent concerns include a 2024 complaint regarding water damage and mold resulting from a leak in the bathroom wall, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." The property has experienced multiple plumbing and electrical work extensions and renewals between 2014-2023, including furnace installations, bathroom remodels, and various system upgrades, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements. An active building complaint from 2017 regarding unpermitted work on a rear extension and second-floor remodel appears to remain unresolved. The property has also been the subject of numerous parking-related incidents, primarily between 2021-2022, suggesting ongoing issues with parking enforcement in the area, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 430-432 3Rd 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
79thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 362 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.

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.
