Rent & eviction protection

Is 779 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 before 1979
Built 1968
2 or more units

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 1968
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 three-unit residential building at 779 33rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district, owned by Timothy Kwok Hoi Yick, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since its construction in 1968. Most notably, the property has an active violation from March 2017 that categorized it as a nuisance, with multiple outstanding maintenance issues including interior surface problems such as mold/mildew on ceilings and walls, water damage, and required repairs to floor coverings and lighting. This follows a pattern of water-related issues, with similar complaints documented in 1998, 2005, and more recently in 2017. A significant incident occurred in September 2015 when fire damaged an apartment behind the garage, requiring significant repairs to a burned-out bedroom.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing concerns regarding water damage and its consequences, including mold and mildew growth. A 2017 building permit was issued for repairs to address water damage on the building's exterior, including 250 square feet of wood siding replacement and 400 square feet of drywall work. The property has also experienced pest issues, with a rat infestation complaint recorded in October 2015. More recently, there have been numerous parking-related incidents near the property, with several citations issued between 2022 and 2024 for vehicles blocking driveways, though these are unrelated to the building's structural or maintenance condition.

Risk rating

How 779 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.

Neighborhood percentile
43rdpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 593 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
