Rent & eviction protection

Is 601-607 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.

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, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 601-607 24th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond district, constructed in 1936 and currently owned by William Chan, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns regarding exterior maintenance, with an active building violation from October 2023 related to severely peeling and flaking paint that presents potential lead hazard concerns. This exterior deterioration issue, first documented in October 2023 and still active as of April 2024, has been the subject of multiple complaints. The building has undergone some recent maintenance work, including a $15,000 reroofing project completed in December 2023, and a kitchen demolition project that was filed but its current status is unclear.

Historically, the building has faced several safety-related violations, particularly regarding fire safety, with multiple issues documented in 2003 including problems with combustible storage, fire escape ladders, and fire proofing materials; however, these violations were all abated by May 2003. More recent complaints include a structural issue reported in October 2023 related to the ground floor, though this complaint was resolved within a week. The property has also been the subject of various municipal service calls, including multiple reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity between 2023 and 2024, though these were generally resolved promptly. Two street-related permits were issued in the past (2009 and 2014), and while there have been several 311 service requests in recent years, most have been resolved quickly, including sidewalk inspection in 2022 which found no issues. Recent maintenance efforts suggest some attention to building upkeep, but the persistence of the exterior paint issue raises ongoing concerns about building maintenance standards.

Risk rating

How 601-607 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
5thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2138 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
