Rent & eviction protection

Is 3910-3912 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 1925
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 three-story mixed-use building at 3910-3912 24th Street in Noe Valley, built in 1925, currently contains one commercial unit (Cocoon Day Spa) on the ground and basement levels, along with two residential units on the upper floors. Recent significant activities include a filed permit from October 2022 proposing a fourth-floor addition to create a two-story residential unit with a private roof deck, though this remains in filed status as of October 2023. The property underwent substantial improvements between 2018-2022, including electrical system upgrades (400-amp service panel installation), plumbing renovations, and fire safety improvements such as a new sprinkler monitoring system. Several permits were completed for unit renovations, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, and HVAC system installations.

The building has experienced various compliance issues over the years, with most violations resolved promptly. These include a 2013 staircase repair complaint, 2008 lead paint concerns, and security-related violations in 2009 regarding egress locks. More recent complaints from 2020-2022 raised concerns about construction work, including unpermitted excavation work and safety protocols during renovations, though these complaints are listed as "Not Active." The property has maintained a consistent occupancy pattern, with the commercial space and residential units remaining as originally intended, though there have been periodic issues with the vacant storefront ordinance. Planning records show approved requests for variances regarding off-street parking requirements, and recent applications related to building modifications and commercial use have been properly processed through the appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 3910-3912 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
