Rent & eviction protection

Is 208-210 Flood 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 1911

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 1911
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 208-210 Flood Avenue in Sunnyside is a one-story, multi-family residential building containing 2 units, built in 1911 and currently owned by John Kwong. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the years, most notably in 2017 when work was completed to legalize an unauthorized unit (Unit B) that included 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, and living room, following a major violation notice. This legalization process involved substantial improvements, including electrical upgrades with a new 200-amp service, complete electrical replacement, new furnace installation, water heater replacement, and gas line work, all totaling approximately $21,000.

The building has a documented history of various permits and violations, including a significant illegal unit conversion in 2016-2017, multiple plumbing issues including sewer problems, and violations related to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The property underwent several earlier modifications, including unauthorized room additions in 2001 (playroom, bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry room) and conversion of a commercial unit to residential use in 2001, which resulted in multiple housing code violations. Structural work including underpinning of the east wall was completed in 1995, and various repair works were carried out through the years, including water damage repairs in 1993 and exterior wall repairs in 1987. Recent activity (2024) shows recurring issues with plumbing systems, including a notable sewage backup incident, as well as multiple parking enforcement issues in the vicinity. The building's maintenance history suggests various unauthorized modifications over the years, with significant efforts made in recent years to bring systems up to code, though some active violations related to unauthorized unit conversion remain on record.

Risk rating

How 208-210 Flood 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
44thpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 72 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
