Rent & eviction protection

Is 4288-4298 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units
15 units
Property type

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 1900
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 15-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 4288-4298 24th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Almyra LLC, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018-2019, which included seismic upgrades to both the residential and commercial portions, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance work includes the replacement of exterior egress stairs in 2021 and the removal of an old boiler in 2022, though the building experienced water-related issues in 2011-2012, including reports of leaking pipes, ceiling damage, and mold. The property has maintained active plumbing and electrical maintenance records, with significant work completed on water systems in 2009-2011, including water heater replacement, water line upgrades, and the installation of a grease trap.

The building has experienced various compliance issues over the years, with the most recent being a 2024 complaint regarding boiler permit renewal, which was promptly addressed. There have been recurring maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2011 complaint about construction-related disturbances, water leakage issues in multiple units, and a 2017 incident involving a pipe explosion. Historical violations from 2001 and 2005 included fire safety concerns that were subsequently resolved. Recent complaints in 2023-2024 have primarily concerned the building's common areas and external environment, with issues including graffiti, a sewage backup incident, and various municipal service requests. The property has also undergone commercial space changes, most recently with the closure of a business in late 2023, and has had telecommunications equipment removed in 2014.

Risk rating

How 4288-4298 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1823 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
