Rent & eviction protection

Is 2390-2394 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.

Built 1977

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 14-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2390-2394 31st Avenue in Parkside, owned by 2392-31st Avenue LLC, was constructed in 1977 and has undergone several significant improvements and modifications over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofits for both its residential and commercial portions in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has seen various commercial space transformations, including a change from grocery/delicatessen to a limited-use restaurant in 2013, with subsequent modifications to accommodate food preparation facilities. Multiple renovation projects have focused on accessibility improvements, including bathroom remodels and conversions to ADA-compliant facilities between 2010 and 2015.

Recent fire safety compliance issues have been documented, with the most recent violation in February 2024 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance, though this was abated by May 2024. Historical fire-related inspections reveal recurring concerns with fire escapes, exit maintenance, and extinguisher requirements between 2016 and 2024, all of which were eventually corrected. The building's management has generally addressed maintenance and compliance issues as they arise, though there have been some instances of expired permits requiring renewal for final inspections, such as during the 2011 bathroom remodel work. The property has experienced periodic street-related issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and parking violations between late 2024 and early 2025, which were typically resolved by city services or enforcement agencies.

Risk rating

How 2390-2394 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
4thpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 245 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
