Central Sunset, SF 94122 1778038 4 units · 2 fl · 1952

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.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1326 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.

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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1326 24th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1952 and is currently owned by George W. Fong and Judy K. Dong. The building's maintenance history shows two significant structural improvements: a roofing project completed in 1996 and foundation underpinning work along the north footing in 1995, though both permits have since expired. A notable cluster of violations occurred in February 2002 during a routine housing inspection, primarily related to fire safety and security issues including non-functioning fire escape drop ladders, uncharged fire extinguishers, and a self-closing gate mechanism problem; however, all these violations were resolved by March 2002.

The property has experienced recurring infrastructure issues, particularly with sewer systems, as evidenced by three separate sewage backup incidents documented between 2014-2015. More recent concerns include sidewalk safety problems, with reports of collapsed sidewalks in 2018 and 2022, as well as tree root damage to sidewalks reported in September 2022. Other maintenance issues have been relatively minor and include various animal control, street cleaning, and general public works matters recorded through 311 calls. While the building's documented history shows some historical safety compliance issues from 2002, all violations were promptly addressed, and no significant safety violations have been recorded in recent years. The most recent building-related activity was regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk, which is currently listed as an open issue.

Risk rating

How 1326 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
16thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 684 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
