Rent & eviction protection

Is 839-841 30Th 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 1947

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 1947
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 839-841 30th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Denny K Miu and constructed in 1947 in the Flats & Duplex building class. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, with the most recent major infrastructure work occurring in 2018, including street space modifications and plumbing work involving the replacement of a section of the main lateral. A flooding incident was reported on the property in June 2023, which was promptly addressed and resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. The building has seen consistent maintenance attention to its roofing needs, with records showing reroofing work completed in 1990, 2010, and additional street space permits in 2018. Historical improvements include notable residential upgrades completed in 1989, when half baths were added to each unit along with kitchen and bathroom remodeling.

The property's history also includes several minor service calls and enforcement actions in the surrounding area, though none directly related to the building's structural integrity or resident safety. These external incidents include parking enforcement for sidewalk parking in July 2022 and an abandoned vehicle report in May 2017, both of which were resolved by city agencies. A planning record from 841 30th Avenue indicates an ABC referral for Type 09, 17, which was approved but shows no developer information. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep, with no documented pattern of recurring issues or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 839-841 30Th 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
73rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 608 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
