Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 324-328 Church 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.

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 property at 324-328 Church Street is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly in 2018, which included substantial foundation work with additional footings and beam changes ($20,000), kitchen expansion, bathroom addition, and foundation upgrades ($64,000) in the front building, as well as a major electrical service upgrade to 400 amps with four meters. Other improvements during this period included plumbing updates such as water heater replacements and bathroom renovations. The building had a series of maintenance and compliance issues between 2002-2009, including violations related to smoke detectors, fire safety equipment, stair repairs, and unauthorized work. Many of these violations were addressed by 2003-2009, though there were complaints about unpermitted wiring and gas line work in 2009. The property has been relatively stable in recent years, with the most recent permit activity being a street space permit in 2018, and the last significant violation-related complaint dating back to 2009 regarding expired building permits and gas line installation. A 2025 shared spaces request related to the private lot was successfully resolved, and there have been a few minor exterior issues noted in 2016 and 2014 regarding hazardous materials and sidewalk blockage, which were also resolved.

Risk rating

How 324-328 Church 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
45thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 703 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
