Rent & eviction protection

Is 619-621 33Rd 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 1941

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 1941
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 619 33rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1941, currently owned by a Revocable Trust. In recent years, the building has undergone significant renovations, including a completed complete bathroom remodel and kitchen upgrade in 2023, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $55,000. More recent work includes an electrical upgrade to 200 amps completed in April 2024, and currently ongoing improvements involving the demolition and reconstruction of a backyard staircase and deck, along with modifications to the ground floor living room, as permitted in October 2024.

The building has experienced some maintenance and regulatory issues, most notably a complaint in February 2022 regarding unpermitted work in the backyard, though this was marked as "Not Active" in April 2022. While a fire incident is recorded, it was classified as a false alarm with no civilian injuries. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to parking issues, with several citations issued for driveway blocking between July and October 2024, along with some reports of garbage and debris that have since been resolved. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements, including a re-roofing project completed in 2009, indicating ongoing investment in building upkeep.

Risk rating

How 619-621 33Rd 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.
