Rent & eviction protection

Is 2595 43Rd 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 before 1979
Built 1958
2 or more units

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.

Built 1958
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 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2595 43rd Avenue in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, built in 1958 and owned by Wong Taklam S & La Vivian N, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2022 at a cost of $90,000 to comply with seismic safety requirements. Recent resident concerns include ongoing heating issues reported in March 2023, where one tenant experienced inconsistent heating leading to cold overnight temperatures. The building has undergone various unit improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2018 (Unit 3), maintenance work in response to building violations, and repairs for water damage and dry rot issues in 2022-2023.

The property has experienced multiple regulatory interventions, with several building violations and complaints since 2001. These include security and fire safety violations in 2001 that were addressed by October of the same year, and more recent compliance issues in 2022 regarding unauthorized modifications that were subsequently legalized. The building has also had several fire safety concerns, with blocked exits and extinguisher issues noted in 2022, though these were promptly corrected. Approximately $184,000 in permits for various repairs and improvements have been issued in recent years, including kitchen window replacements, plumbing updates, and electrical work to comply with code requirements. The property has shown general responsiveness to maintenance issues, though some tenant complaints regarding timely repairs and heating systems persist as a notable concern.

Risk rating

How 2595 43Rd 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
8thpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 190 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

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

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
