Rent & eviction protection

Is 3972-3976 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 1907

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 1907
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-unit residential building at 3972-3976 24th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Del-camp Investments Inc, has a history of maintenance issues requiring attention to structural integrity. Built in 1907, this three-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant repairs over the past decade. Most notably, in 2019, the building required substantial dry rot repairs at both the rear of the building and the garage, with work costing $30,000. This was not an isolated issue, as similar concerns were addressed in 2010 with repairs to rear stairs for $3,500. The building also underwent window improvements in 2011 with the installation of 15 Andersen Fibrex windows valued at $9,100. An expired plumbing permit from 2018 indicates that the water heater was replaced, though details about this system's current status are not available from the records.

More recently, there was a lead paint concern reported in October 2019, though this was resolved within 12 days. The building has undergone routine housing inspections, with the most recent showing no violations. The property has experienced ongoing issues with street cleanliness, particularly during October and November 2024, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and debris on the street, though these are external to the building itself. While the building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural issues, particularly regarding moisture-related problems, the most recent building permits from 2019 indicate that no major structural modifications have been undertaken in recent years, and the plumbing system's current status remains undocumented since the 2018 water heater replacement.

Risk rating

How 3972-3976 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
55thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 846 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
