Rent & eviction protection

Is 1384-1390 31St 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 1384-1390 31st Avenue property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1936, currently owned by the Olson Family Trust. The most recent significant work on the property was a $28,000 reroofing project completed in October 2023, and previous improvements include garage door replacements in 1991 and window upgrades in 1987. The building has experienced recurring moisture-related issues, with documented mold problems in 2013 and 2020, the latter of which was notably serious enough to involve third-party inspection services. A 2002 routine inspection revealed several safety concerns that were subsequently addressed, including the installation of smoke detectors and fire escape ladder compliance, though there was also an incident of mold reported at that time.

The property's maintenance history shows some attention to basic infrastructure, though past kitchen renovation permit from 2005 does display an expired status. Recent public records from 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance needs in the vicinity, including overgrown trees and abandoned debris, while three separate 2023 reports of sidewalk defects were found to have no actual problems upon inspection. The building's location has remained relatively stable over the decades, with no recorded tenant buyouts or significant ownership changes. While some historical violations and complaints exist, they have all been marked as "Not Active" after appropriate resolutions, suggesting that the building's current state is being maintained under regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 1384-1390 31St 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
18thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 667 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
