Noe Valley, SF 94114 3649015 6 units · 3 fl · 1904

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 3740-3750 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 1904
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3740-3750 24th Street in Noe Valley, built in 1904, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various safety compliance issues over its history. The building underwent first-level seismic reinforcement with plywood in 1994, kitchen remodeling in 1989, and has had multiple roof-related permits, though a 1997 reroof permit expired without record of completion. Between 2007 and 2011, the building experienced recurring fire safety and maintenance violations that required attention, including issues with the smoke alarm system, fire extinguishers, combustible storage, egress obstructions, and ceiling repairs, all of which were ultimately abated by March 2011. The most recent building-related permits were issued for street space use in 2007.

The property has been subject to regular apartment house inspections, with records showing a 2001 routine inspection and subsequent violations that required correction in 1988-1989. Between 2023 and 2024, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding street-level issues near the property, including concerns about garbage and debris, graffiti, and sidewalk blockages, though these exterior maintenance issues appear to have been promptly addressed by relevant city agencies. While the building has had its share of compliance issues in the past, particularly relating to fire safety systems, it's worth noting that these violations were resolved, and there have been no recorded fire safety violations in over a decade. The most recent building-related activities have been primarily focused on exterior maintenance and street-level issues rather than deficiencies within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3740-3750 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
21stpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1484 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
