Rent & eviction protection

Is 835 24Th 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 1922

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 1922
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

835 24th Avenue is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1922, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant modifications over its lifetime. Most recently, in January 2024, the building received an important update involving the installation of five fire-rated windows in the light well and the addition of 3,300 square feet of siding on multiple elevations, including the back wall, right side, and mostly non-visible front and back roof walls. The windows meet modern energy efficiency standards with a U-factor not exceeding 0.30. Prior major improvements include a substantial vertical and horizontal addition completed in 1999 costing $250,000, and a reroofing project from 1994.

The property has experienced several urban maintenance issues typical of its neighborhood, though none directly related to building safety or structural concerns. Recent external matters include an open complaint from February 2024 regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk, which was initially accepted by DPW Operations. The building's immediate vicinity has seen various municipal service calls between 2010 and 2022, including reports of abandoned vehicles (in 2022), illegal postings (2018), and graffiti (2018 and 2010), along with parking enforcement issues (2019). While these incidents reflect typical urban neighborhood challenges, they are primarily related to street and public space conditions rather than the building's structural integrity or safety features.

Risk rating

How 835 24Th 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
99thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

Owner's portfolio size
