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 820-824 22Nd 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 820-824 22nd Street, owned by Benderly Ari and constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, the property received updates including the installation of venting skylights, attic insulation and drywall work, and the addition of an attic sub-panel. The building's history reveals attention to structural and safety concerns, particularly following a 2018 incident where a car crash caused damage to the front stairs, which required repairs in-kind. Previous improvements include comprehensive plumbing work in 2011 (new house trap, sand trap, area drains, backflow prevention, etc.), electrical upgrades with multiple circuits and outlets, and various exterior maintenance projects during 2011-2013 including siding replacement, roofing work, and skylight legalization.

The property has experienced several regulatory and safety inspections, with violations noted in 2010 regarding stairs, security locks, and smoke detectors, though these appear to have been addressed. Two significant complaints were filed in 2012 related to unauthorized exterior work, which prompted the legalization of skylights and siding modifications. Planning records indicate ongoing efforts to maintain the building's historical character, with approved projects focusing on restoring the facade, replacing windows, and addressing skylight installations. While there have been various 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings (including reports of sidewalk blockage, graffiti, and waste) and some infrastructure issues like roof leaks in 1998, the building has generally maintained compliance with safety and building regulations through regular inspections and permitted improvements.

Risk rating

How 820-824 22Nd 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
35thpercentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 48 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
