Rent & eviction protection

Is 782-784 30Th 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 1929

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 1929
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 two-unit residential building at 782-784 30th Avenue, owned by Family Bypass Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1929, located in the Central Richmond neighborhood. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including window replacements and vinyl siding installation in 2006, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 1998. However, more recent events raise significant concerns about resident safety and building maintenance. In February 2023, multiple serious issues were reported, including hazardous outlet wiring, dangerous conditions with exit stairs due to wood rot, long-term problems with an electrical outlet, inconsistent hot water supply, and lack of proper smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Additional complaints from May 2022 documented issues with window condition, improper piping, and mold. The building's parking situation has generated numerous complaints, with at least ten documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways between 2021 and 2023, resulting in several citations being issued, though some vehicles could not be located by responding officers.

The building's maintenance history shows some attention to upgrades and repairs, with permitted work for window replacements and siding installation, though these occurred many years ago. More recent building complaints suggest a pattern of delayed maintenance and safety concerns, particularly regarding basic life safety systems such as smoke detectors. While the property has experienced a system malfunction incident recorded in the fire safety data, there were no civilian injuries reported. The combination of several unresolved safety issues reported in 2023, including hazardous stairs and missing safety equipment, indicates potential ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety, though the current status of these complaints is listed as "Not Active" in the Housing Inspection Services records.

Risk rating

How 782-784 30Th 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
39thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1372 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
