Rent & eviction protection

Is 622-624 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.

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 1915
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 622-624 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Judy L. Cheng. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the years, with the most recent work occurring in July 2023 when three windows were replaced on the rear facade, complying with eero requirements. The property experienced a notable period of renovation between 2021-2023, prompted by a 2019 complaint about possible unpermitted living space, during which a bathroom, wet bar, and kitchenette were added to the first floor, along with associated plumbing and electrical work. These improvements were completed under proper permits following previous complaints about unpermitted construction.

The building has a history of maintenance and upgrades, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2007, siding repairs and painting in 2013, and several significant structural improvements in 1991 including horizontal addition, stucco replacement, and kitchen remodeling. Various complaints about permit violations and safety issues have been recorded over the years, including concerns about unpermitted construction in 2012, non-working outlets and fused wiring in 2001, and a roof replacement without proper permits in 2008, though all these issues were eventually abated. Of particular note is the building's involvement in short-term rental activity, as evidenced by multiple Airbnb listings, leading to regulatory scrutiny in 2019 when the property was directed to cease rentals of less than 30 days, a violation that was eventually closed and abated.

Risk rating

How 622-624 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
33rdpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1154 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
