Rent & eviction protection

Is 3254 24Th 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 3254 24th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Mission Housing Development Corporation. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a comprehensive $156,000 rehabilitation project in 2017 that included minor demolition, interior finishes, electrical work, and voluntary structural strengthening. In 2018, the ground floor was updated with ADA-compliant bathroom renovations and plumbing repairs, while the building received a new roof in December 2017 at a cost of over $32,000. However, there are serious concerns about the building's current status, with active complaints filed in October 2024 regarding unauthorized conversion of former retail spaces (Casita de las Joyas and Futbol Papa) into office space, removal of structural walls without permits, and violations of ground floor commercial use requirements in the Mission Neighborhood Commercial Transit District.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including electrical upgrades such as a 200-amp underground conversion (2005-2004) and various street space permits. A notable violation was recorded in December 2018 regarding failure to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Commercial Storefront Ordinance, though this was abated by March 2019. Recent municipal service records from January 2025 indicate ongoing challenges in the surrounding area, including encampments and graffiti issues, though these are external to the building itself. Two fire incidents were recorded, but both were minor situations with no civilian injuries reported. The property is currently facing multiple pending planning violations related to unauthorized changes, including illegal change of use, business signage issues, and storefront transparency concerns, suggesting ongoing challenges with compliance to zoning and planning regulations.

Risk rating

How 3254 24Th 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
69thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 738 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
