Rent & eviction protection

Is 2137-2139 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.

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 property at 2137-2139 24th Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Thomas M. Hundt. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent occurring in early 2024 when the final inspection was completed for work related to stair treads, siding repairs, handrail installation, and paint work that addressed a notice of violation from 2010. In 2015-2016, substantial work was performed to replace a garden retaining wall, including plumbing work to connect a drain to the sewer lateral, costing approximately $21,000.

The building has experienced several safety and maintenance issues over its history, with multiple violations documented between 2000 and 2017. These included concerns about fire safety (fire extinguisher maintenance and egress obstruction), security issues (door locks and self-closing devices), structural maintenance needs, and requirements for carbon monoxide alarms/smoke detectors. Two routine housing inspections (2010 and 2017) revealed various building code compliance issues that were subsequently addressed. Historical complaints also indicate past problems with drainage (kitchen flooding in 1997) and fire escape access (1998). The property has been subject to multiple parking-related complaints in recent months (October 2024), though these are external to the building's condition and maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 2137-2139 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
8thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 668 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.

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.

Building age

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