Rent & eviction protection

Is 4118 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 1963
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1963
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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 4118 24th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Chun Hsia Revocable Lvg Tr, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1963. Most recently, in July 2023 and October 2023, the building completed important fire safety upgrades, including an improved fire alarm system installation costing $22,500 and further fire alarm modifications to add low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and meet modern fire safety standards. The property successfully completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2022 (with costs of $75,000 in 2014 and an additional $10,000 revision), demonstrating compliance with important seismic safety requirements. The building experienced a significant cluster of violations in 2001 related to fire safety, including issues with the alarm system, floor coverings, smoke enclosure door, fire escape ladder, egress obstructions, fire extinguishers, and plumbing/electrical systems, though all were resolved by 2010. A kitchen remodel complaint in 2010 was promptly addressed through proper permitting.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including termite repairs (1997), window and door replacement (1998), and kitchen improvements (2010). Recent 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and graffiti issues in the surrounding area, with the most recent call in October 2023 regarding graffiti. A fire-related incident in 2021 was recorded as a non-fire alarm system activation with no injuries. The building's fire safety systems appear to be properly maintained, with a July 2021 fire complaint regarding alarm systems resulting in correction of the identified condition. The structure has not had any major building code violations since 2010, and recent routine inspections have shown compliance with necessary regulations. The property maintains an active status in housing inspections, with no recent significant violations or complaints affecting resident safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 4118 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
5thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1785 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
