Rent & eviction protection

Is 712 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 before 1979
Built 1911

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1911
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 712 10th Avenue in the Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911, currently owned by Christina M Botsch. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring between 2021 and 2024. Major projects include a comprehensive interior remodel in 2021 ($450,000) that involved developing habitable space at the rear, relocating kitchens, adding new bathrooms, and upgrading existing facilities across both units. The building has also received electrical system upgrades, including a new 400-amp service installation in 2024, and comprehensive rewiring work in 2023 that included modern lighting and outlet installations. Recent structural improvements include front porch and stair rebuilding in 2023 and partial foundation replacement work in 2022-2023, indicating proactive maintenance of the building's core systems.

The property has seen regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, including plumbing renovations (bathrooms, kitchens, and radiant heat systems in 2023), roof replacement in 2019, and foundation repairs. Historical records show attention to both interior and exterior elements, including front facade restoration work in 2014 and addressing dry rot issues in 2013. The building's recent permit activity suggests ongoing improvements to both units, with particular focus on modernizing facilities and maintaining structural integrity. While there have been several reports of parking and street maintenance issues in the vicinity of the property between 2020 and 2023, these are generally unrelated to the building's condition or management. The extensive recent work, as evidenced by multiple permits and completed projects, indicates active management and investment in the property's maintenance and modernization.

Risk rating

How 712 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.
