Rent & eviction protection

Is 3526-3528 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 3526-3528 24th Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Wu Mo Alberto. The building is undergoing significant renovations, with the most recent permit filed in December 2022 for a substantial 799-square-foot rear addition across multiple levels, including new bedrooms, bathrooms, and a family room. This work follows a previous major renovation in 2020 that involved excavating the basement to create additional living space for unit #1, along with adding new interior connections and utility infrastructure. The building's electrical system was modernized in 2004 with the conversion from overhead to underground service and the installation of three new meters.

The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure challenges in recent years, most notably a series of sewer issues in early 2020, with three separate sewage backup incidents reported within a month. More recently, in December 2023, there were reports of water leaks. The building also faced some compliance issues, with a complaint in March 2023 regarding an illegal tent structure in the backyard, though this was promptly abated within one day. Historical records show an infrastructure upgrade in 2004 with the installation of new electrical service, and a 2019 incident involving graffiti on the sidewalk that was addressed by the owner. The property has undergone various modifications aimed at improving living conditions and adding space, with planning records indicating careful consideration of maintaining the building's existing unit configuration while expanding its footprint.

Risk rating

How 3526-3528 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
16thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1578 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
