Rent & eviction protection

Is 722-724 20Th 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 1923

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.

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 1923 Central Richmond multi-family residential building, which consists of two units and three stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a comprehensive kitchen remodel in 2019 costing $25,000, which included new cabinets, countertops, plumbing fixtures, flooring, and electrical upgrades. This project followed a pattern of kitchen-related improvements, as a similar renovation was completed in 2006, along with various electrical and plumbing upgrades. Between 2004-2006, substantial interior modifications were made, including bathroom and closet additions, wall modifications, and electrical service upgrades to 200 amps. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including a roofing project in 2001 and stair repairs in 1985.

Two notable building complaints were filed in September 2019 regarding unauthorized construction work and safety concerns, though these cases are currently listed as not active. The property's recent maintenance history includes a sewage backup issue reported in December 2023, which remains open as of the latest data. The surrounding area has experienced periodic street and sidewalk cleaning needs, with reports of loose garbage, waste, and graffiti being addressed between 2018 and 2023. While there have been several parking-related incidents in the vicinity, these have been promptly addressed by enforcement agencies.

Risk rating

How 722-724 20Th 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
62ndpercentile
