Rent & eviction protection

Is 428-430 Burnett 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 1974
2 or more units
20 units
Property type

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1974
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 20-unit, 2-story apartment building at 428-430 Burnett Ave in Twin Peaks, owned by Henry & Hedwa Greenspan Pro, has experienced various significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1974. Most recently, the building has ongoing fire safety concerns, with an active violation issued in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and a filed permit in July 2024 to upgrade the fire alarm system to comply with current codes, including the installation of new system components and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The property has a history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks in the parking garage and exterior lighting fixtures recorded in 2014, and ongoing pest control issues noted in 2022 regarding ant infestations. Important past repairs include a significant fire damage restoration in Apartment #10 in 2021 (cost: $41,000), roofing work completed in 2018 ($58,800) and 2021 ($9,100), and extensive repairs in 2017 addressing dry rot, stucco issues, and window replacements (cost: $95,000).

The building has faced several other safety and maintenance challenges over the years, including multiple fire safety violations, such as blocked exits (2015), sprinkler system issues (2018), and electrical system concerns (2021). A routine inspection was conducted in April 2023, and while some historical violations have been abated, several remain open or active. The property has completed its Soft Story retrofit requirements, achieving Tier 2 compliance. Recent 311 calls in 2024 primarily relate to abandoned vehicles and parking issues, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The owners have made various infrastructure improvements over the years, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, though some permits show as expired or incomplete, and multiple fire-related violations have been issued and subsequently addressed between 2007-2023.

Risk rating

How 428-430 Burnett 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
19thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 139 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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