Rent & eviction protection

Is 817-819 35Th 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 1923
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1923
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 817-819 35th Avenue property, a two-unit residential building located in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923 and currently owned by Agnes Chiu Mei Wong. The building has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime, with the most recent and major work occurring in August 2023 when $220,000 worth of improvements were made, including the installation of fiber cement lap siding (not visible from the street), replacement of 33 windows (24 on the right and backside; 9 on the front), and stucco replacement on the front facade. This work follows a historical pattern of maintenance and upgrades, including a complete vertical extension/addition of one story in 1986, kitchen improvements in 1999, and various repairs related to weather protection and dry rot in the early 1990s. A concerning event was reported in December 2023 when a complaint was filed regarding potential fire hazards related to vinyl windows, though this case is currently listed as not active.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly regarding the exterior. Notable issues include a collapsed sidewalk reported in 2022 (though this was subsequently not found), and one instance of sewage backup discharge in November 2024, which was investigated and resolved without observed problems. The building's location has seen recurring parking-related issues, with multiple reports of blocked driveways, sidewalk parking, and improper postings between 2021-2025, though most of these incidents were not able to be verified by responding officers. The property's maintenance history reflects regular upkeep, with the 2023 upgrades representing the most substantial recent investment in the building's infrastructure and appearance.

Risk rating

How 817-819 35Th 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
94thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 62 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
