Rent & eviction protection

Is 1294 32Nd 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.

Built 1924
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 two-unit, single-story multi-family residential building at 1294 32nd Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Stanley & Theresa Thin K K and built in 1924, has undergone minimal documented structural changes over recent years, with the sole significant improvement being a $7,500 re-roofing project completed in 2016. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety concerns in recent years, particularly during 2023-2024, with multiple open issues including a damaged tree (reported February 2024), property-damaging tree roots (May 2023), curb defects (May 2023), and a collapsed sidewalk (May 2023) that, while ultimately resolved, had raised safety concerns. The building and its vicinity have been subject to several municipal service requests, including reports of glass hazardous materials (April 2023), general debris (August 2024), and an invalid building inspection request (October 2024).

The property has experienced some urban infrastructure challenges typical of its location, including parking-related issues with reports of double parking (December 2024) and an abandoned vehicle (October 2024), both of which were handled through MTA Parking Enforcement. While these parking incidents occurred outside the building proper, they do reflect on the neighborhood's parking dynamics. The various open issues related to tree maintenance and curb defects suggest ongoing challenges with the property's immediate exterior environment, though it's worth noting that most previous complaints have been resolved through appropriate municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 1294 32Nd 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
47thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 431 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
