Rent & eviction protection

Is 701-703 36Th 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 1946

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 1946
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 701-703 36th Ave in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with a street-level commercial space, built in 1946 and currently owned by Touye Ode F & Carole J Revo. The building, which underwent a significant transition to full-service restaurant use in 2013, has seen numerous commercial improvements over the past decade, including kitchen fire safety upgrades, equipment installations, and infrastructure improvements. Recent maintenance includes a water heater replacement in 2021, electrical system upgrades, and regular building systems maintenance. The commercial space has experienced some operational challenges, with multiple complaints about vacant storefronts in 2022 and 2023, though these violations were eventually abated. A minor exterior repair was needed in 2016 due to vehicle damage to the building's stucco.

The building's fire safety record shows several alarm activations between 2016 and 2023, all of which were either false alarms or unintentional activations, with no reported injuries or significant incidents. The property has undergone various accessibility and safety improvements over the years, including bathroom relocations, heating system upgrades, and the installation of an accessible entrance door with power operator. Recent activity in 2024 has primarily involved external maintenance issues such as garbage disposal concerns and parking violations in the vicinity, though these are not direct reflections on the building's condition or management. The building's systems have received regular attention, as evidenced by the multiple permits and inspections, suggesting proactive maintenance by the owners, though the frequency of commercial space-related violations indicates some challenges in maintaining storefront occupancy.

Risk rating

How 701-703 36Th 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 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 988 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
