Rent & eviction protection

Is 24 Hill 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.

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 24 Hill Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with three units, constructed in 1900 and owned by the Elich & Shields Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced various challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2004, multiple housing code violations were documented, including problems with heating systems, building surfaces, and potential lead paint concerns, though these issues were all abated by February 2004. A concerning rodent infestation was reported in June 2018, specifically in the rear building, and there was a complaint about peeling paint during the same year.

The building has seen various improvements and maintenance work, including a significant renovation in 2005 costing $150,000 that involved reconfiguring interior spaces, demolishing rear rooms, relocating windows, and adding an exterior staircase and balcony. Recent administrative permits in December 2022 were obtained to verify the building's use as three dwelling units, with no actual construction work involved. Additional improvements include a 150-amp electrical service upgrade in 2007, a plumbing upgrade with water heater replacement in 2016, and various sidewalk and street space permits. Recent municipal services calls primarily concern parking issues near the property, with multiple citations issued between 2020 and 2024 for illegal parking and driveway blocking. The most recent building-related service calls from 2021-2024 have been for general maintenance issues, including street lighting and parking concerns, rather than major structural or safety problems.

Risk rating

How 24 Hill 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
66thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 435 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 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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