Rent & eviction protection

Is 68 Ramona 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 1911

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

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.

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

68 Ramona Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Carol Ruth Silver (2005 Revo). The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a comprehensive HVAC upgrade in 2012 with a combined hydronic heat system and solar thermal components, a complete electrical system upgrade in 2009 adding separate meters and panels for each unit, and substantial interior renovations in 2008 involving kitchen and bathroom remodeling. The property experienced multiple permit-related issues between 1999-2008, including unauthorized construction and modifications, though these complaints were ultimately resolved. A notable plumbing and ceiling leak incident was reported in 1996, but appears to have been addressed. Recent building maintenance includes reroofing completed in 2012.

The building's recent history shows minimal internal issues, with the most significant recent concern being a flooding incident on the street in February 2023, which was resolved. The property has had several street space permits issued between 2018-2019, and while there are some ongoing municipal service requests in the area (such as for illegal postings as of May 2024), these appear to be related to external rather than building-specific issues. The structure's underlying systems have received regular updates and maintenance, with no recorded fire incidents affecting civilian safety, though one alarm malfunction was noted. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing maintenance needs and upgrading essential systems, with most historical complaints and permit issues having been resolved through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 68 Ramona 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
85thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 120 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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.
