Rent & eviction protection

Is 2315-2317 20Th 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 1946

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 two-unit residential building at 2315-2317 20th Avenue in Parkside, owned by Tran Loi Moc, has been experiencing significant maintenance and safety issues throughout 2023 and into 2024. The property, which consists of a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1946, has multiple active building violations resulting from a June 2023 inspection that identified serious safety concerns. These violations include necessary stair repairs, fire safety equipment deficiencies (including missing fire extinguishers and egress obstructions), plumbing permit requirements, and compliance with carbon monoxide and smoke alarm regulations. Of particular concern is a recent complaint from September 2023 regarding inadequate ventilation possibly linked to recent construction work, along with an active violation regarding an exit door that cannot fully open and an unpermitted heater/vent installation.

The building has undergone some repair work in recent years, including a permit issued in July 2023 for repairing a rear stairway and removing a tankless water heater, though several related plumbing and electrical permits have since expired. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including stucco repairs in 2001 and re-roofing in 1990. The property has generated multiple complaints about parking violations in the surrounding area throughout 2024-2025, with multiple cases of driveway blocking being reported and addressed by parking enforcement. There is also an open fire hazard complaint from January 2025 that requires attention. The building's recent history indicates ongoing safety and maintenance challenges that require monitoring.

Risk rating

How 2315-2317 20Th 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 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 117 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
