Rent & eviction protection

Is 773-775 21St 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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 multi-family residential building at 773-775 21st Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Panina Family Revocable Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922. The building's documented maintenance history shows several significant repairs and installations, including termite damage remediation in 2019 costing $3,460, installation of a backflow prevention device and pressure reducing regulator for the hydronic heat boiler in 2010, and a garage door opener installation in 2007. The property has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, particularly evident between July and September 2022 when multiple complaints were filed (though all were resolved with vehicles either being gone upon inspection or determined to be in compliance). There were also three reported incidents of sidewalk parking violations in March 2020, with varying enforcement outcomes. A cleanliness issue was addressed in 2019 involving human or animal waste on the street or sidewalk. In terms of safety incidents, the building had one documented false alarm/fire call with no civilian injuries. The property's permit and violation history suggests regular maintenance and prompt attention to most issues, though the recurring vehicle-related complaints indicate some ongoing neighborhood enforcement challenges.

Risk rating

How 773-775 21St 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
61stpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 878 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
