Outer Parkside, SF 94116 2379002 2 units · 2 fl · 1949

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 2419 46Th 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

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 2419 46th Avenue in the Outer Parkside neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1949, currently owned by David and Sharon Chen. The building's maintenance history shows two significant roofing works: a $6,000 reroofing project in 2010, following a previous reroofing completed in 1989. The property has experienced multiple parking-related issues over the past several years, particularly in 2022, when there were consistent problems with vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, resulting in several citations. Most recently, there were two sidewalk parking incidents reported in 2024. Additionally, the property had some tree maintenance issues in 2021, with reports of damaged and dead trees that were ultimately resolved by the Department of Public Works.

On the safety front, there was a fire alarm system-related complaint in March 2015 that was addressed and corrected by early April 2015. As of 2022, there was an open complaint regarding bicycle parking and sharing issues. The building's documented history shows regular attention to maintenance needs, particularly regarding roof upkeep, and a pattern of parking enforcement responses, indicating ongoing challenges with parking compliance in the vicinity of the property. The most recent maintenance activity dates back to 2010, which suggests a potential need for updated records or new maintenance work that may not have been documented in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2419 46Th 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
51stpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 101 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
