Rent & eviction protection

Is 1211 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.

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 1953
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 1211 24th Avenue is a 1-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, built in 1953 and currently owned by the Jonathan Doskow Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most recent major work being a kitchen and bathroom remodel on the upper floor in 2021, which included proper plumbing and electrical permits totaling approximately $37,000. The property has a history of compliance issues, most notably in 2005 when unauthorized window installations were reported, leading to a notice of violation that was resolved within two months through proper permitting of the replacement of 9 windows. Other completed improvements include garage door replacements in 2008, street-facing window updates in 2005, and historical modifications such as the installation of vinyl siding in 1987 and the construction of a basement second unit in 1988.

The building's recent maintenance record shows some infrastructure concerns, with two water leak complaints registered in January 2025 that are currently open. Other more general municipal service calls from 2024 include reports of a pavement defect that has been resolved, along with various street maintenance matters such as illegal postings, garbage removal, and irrigation issues, predominantly related to the property's external environment rather than the building itself. A notable tenant buyout occurred at the adjacent property (1213 24th Avenue) in December 2020 for $15,000, though no similar actions have been recorded for 1211 24th Avenue. The building's permit history demonstrates a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and significant upgrades, with recent work focusing on modernizing the upper floor facilities.

Risk rating

How 1211 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
54thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 374 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
