Rent & eviction protection

Is 782-784 32Nd 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.

Built 1927
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 Lee Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 782-784 32nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1927, this flats and duplex-style property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates over the past few decades. Most notably, in July 2015, the building underwent sewer infrastructure improvements, including replacement of sewer pipes and the house trap, and also required street space usage approvals. The building's maintenance history shows proper attention to essential systems, with a complete reroofing project in 2000 costing $6,000, and window improvements made in 1986 with the installation of aluminum windows.

The property has experienced multiple infrastructure-related issues in recent years, particularly concerning tree-related disruptions. There have been recurring problems with tree roots lifting the sidewalk, with multiple reports filed between 2019 and 2024. The most recent incidents were reported in October 2024 and September 2023, with ongoing cases in February 2022 and June 2021 still marked as open. A December 2021 inspection determined the sidewalk damage posed low risk, though repairs would be addressed in the next scheduled maintenance cycle. Additionally, there was a curb defect reported in April 2022, and some parking enforcement issues in November 2018 involving a vehicle blocking a driveway, though the responding officer was unable to locate the offending vehicle. While there has been one recorded outside rubbish fire incident, it occurred without civilian injuries and does not appear to have caused any significant property damage.

Risk rating

How 782-784 32Nd 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
79thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
