Inner Mission, SF 94110 3610003 8 units · 2 fl · 1910

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 924-930 South Van Ness 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.

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.

Built 1910
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 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 924-930 South Van Ness Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by Altamirano Family Limited P, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its 1910 construction. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit in 2022, having initially received a violation notice in 2017 for failing to file the required permit. This $85,000 seismic safety upgrade brought the building into compliance with San Francisco's 2016 seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements include a window replacement project filed in June 2023, which involves installing five new fiberglass windows in the front facade, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts.

The building's history shows periods of attention to safety and habitability concerns, particularly in the early 2010s. A 2011 inspection revealed multiple violations including fire safety issues, security concerns, and the need for lead paint hazard remediation, all of which were abated by November 2011. Prior to this, complaints from 2007 regarding interior surfaces, stairs, handrails, and lead paint hazards were also resolved. The property has maintained its focus on structural integrity, with significant work done in 2022 to construct a new concrete retaining wall at the rear of the garage and reinforce existing walls. While there have been various service calls related to parking enforcement, sewage issues, and general maintenance, these appear to be typical of urban residential buildings and have generally been resolved promptly. The building's consistent record of permit applications and work completion suggests active management, particularly regarding building safety and code compliance.

Risk rating

How 924-930 South Van Ness 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
20thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1904 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
