Rent & eviction protection

Is 595 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 1926

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

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 three-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building at 595 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by T & A Drolapas & Sons Lp, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1926. Most notably, the building completed its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2017 to comply with seismic safety requirements, demonstrating investment in structural safety. Other major improvements include a roof recovery project in 2007 ($18,000), the replacement of the steam boiler in 2016, and various fire safety corrections through routine inspections. The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related issues, particularly in 2003-2007 when it faced several violations regarding fire escapes, egress obstructions, combustible storage, and alarm system repairs, though these were all subsequently abated by January 2007.

Recent maintenance and safety records indicate ongoing attention to building systems, with the most recent fire safety complaint about extinguishers documented in October 2023 being promptly corrected. The building's plumbing systems have also received attention, with complaints about radiator leaks and water issues occurring in 2007-2012, including a concerning incident in 2012 with mold, electrical issues, and drainage problems in one unit. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) around the property have primarily concerned external issues like sidewalk cleaning, pavement defects, and utility-related matters, rather than internal building conditions. The property appears to have maintained active compliance with fire safety regulations since 2017, though there have been recurring fire safety concerns documented through inspections and complaints, including issues with fire extinguishers, exits, and alarm systems between 2016 and 2023, all of which were generally addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 595 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

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
1stpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2228 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 size

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

Neighborhood location

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