Rent & eviction protection

Is 632 10Th 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 1914

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.

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 632 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Robert Lee and Judy R. Lee. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and repair issues over the past two decades, with the most pressing problems occurring in 2000-2002, including multiple interior surface violations, water damage, and plumbing issues that were eventually abated by July 2000. In 2006, serious concerns emerged regarding water leakage and rodent activity, along with maintenance issues involving windows, door security, and bathroom facilities, which were addressed by March 2010. More recent improvements include a complete reroofing in 2008 ($6,500) and repairs to bathrooms and electrical systems, though an attempted siding repair in 2008 was listed as expired. The building's infrastructure has required ongoing attention, with documentation showing stair replacements, plumbing updates, and electrical work being completed between 2006-2008.

Recent records from 2012 to 2024 indicate fewer building-specific issues, though there have been recurring problems with parking violations on the sidewalk and occasional graffiti incidents, including two reported cases in 2014. A sewage backup issue was reported and resolved in September 2016, and a tree root-related sidewalk defect was documented and addressed in July 2012. The property has maintained compliance with housing inspections since the major violations of 2000-2002 were resolved, though the historical pattern of repairs suggests ongoing maintenance requirements. The building's age and history of water-related issues, both reported in complaints and documented in permits, indicate this could be an area requiring continued monitoring, though recent records show no active building code violations.

Risk rating

How 632 10Th 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
24thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1309 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
