Inner Sunset, SF 94122 1740041 3 units · 3 fl · 1904

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1224 11Th 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 1904

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 1904
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 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1224 11th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, built in 1904 and currently owned by the Quan/yong Family Trust, has a notable history of maintenance and compliance issues. Most recently, in June 2023, repairs were completed on front steps and exterior staircases, following previous work in 2019 to address deck repairs and shed removal. A significant renovation occurred in late 2015, which involved adding a bedroom, office, media room, bathroom, and laundry facilities on the first floor, though this work generated multiple compliance concerns. Between 2015-2019, the property faced several building code violations, including issues with deck repairs, plumbing permits, and fire safety equipment, all of which were addressed by October 2019. Multiple 311 calls regarding driveway blocking were logged between 2021-2024, suggesting ongoing parking enforcement issues in the vicinity. The building's maintenance record includes earlier work such as reroofing in 1997 and various improvements over the years, though some past issues remain notable, including a 2015 complaint about roof drainage problems affecting the neighbor's property and a 2016 complaint regarding unpermitted work that raised concerns about neighboring foundation integrity. Recent building permits indicate ongoing maintenance attention by the current ownership, with particular focus on compliance with safety requirements and structural integrity.

Risk rating

How 1224 11Th 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
28thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1075 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
