Rent & eviction protection

Is 3968 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.

Built 1900

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 two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3968 24th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Verbrugge Living Trust, has a significant construction history with major structural work completed in 1985. This included shoring of the building's foundation, underpinning of the perimeter wall, excavation of the basement, and repairs to various structural elements including damaged floor joists in the bathrooms. In the years that followed, several completed projects included the construction of redwood decks and interior renovations. The most recent major building work occurred in 2007 with street space and sidewalk modifications, and a plumbing update in 2022 involving the replacement of a gas water heater.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, particularly evident in the last quarter of 2024, with numerous reports of overflowing city garbage cans and other debris on the street. There have been three 311 calls related to garbage and debris between September and November 2024, indicating ongoing waste management challenges. The building's safety record shows minimal issues, with only two fire-related incidents on record: a 2014 alarm system complaint that was resolved that same day, and a 2017 complaint with no merit. The property's documented history suggests substantial investment in structural and safety improvements in the mid-1980s, with relatively few maintenance issues reported in recent years, though recent garbage management concerns have emerged as a notable pattern in the area surrounding the building.

Risk rating

How 3968 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
76thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 451 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 permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
