Rent & eviction protection

Is 4222-4226 24Th St 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 1908

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
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 property at 4222-4226 24th Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by 4222-26 24th Street LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, including a comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodeling project in 2020-2025 involving all three units, with costs totaling over $125,000. The bathrooms were updated with new tub and shower surrounds, tiling, and vanities, while the kitchens received new cabinets and countertops. Historical records show the building faced various maintenance and safety issues between 2001-2006, including violations related to handrails, egress obstructions, fire proofing, stair repairs, and interior surfaces. A notable period of concern occurred in 2006-2009, with complaints regarding heating issues, plumbing problems, and reports of unauthorized work beyond permit scope.

More recent history (2020-2024) suggests improved building maintenance and resident safety, with no active building violations since 2009 and recent renovations bringing modern amenities to all units. The most recent building-related incident was a fire alarm system issue reported in February 2024, which was promptly corrected. The property has had some external maintenance matters typical for San Francisco, including sidewalk/root issues and parking enforcement cases, with the most recent parking-related complaints being resolved in 2023-2024. The building's systems underwent significant upgrades between 2006-2010, including electrical improvements with the installation of lighting, switches, receptacles, and panels across all floors. While the property had several problems in the early 2000s and mid-2000s, proper documentation shows these issues were typically resolved within reasonable timeframes, and recent years have demonstrated more proactive property management with substantial unit improvements and no recurring habitability complaints.

Risk rating

How 4222-4226 24Th St'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
63rdpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 695 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

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