Rent & eviction protection

Is 2501-2503 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.

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 multi-family residential building at 2501-2503 24th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood has a documented history spanning several decades. Built in 1900, this two-story structure includes a retail space and residential units. The building has experienced recurring issues with its storefront space, most notably documented complaints about a vacant storefront in both 2019 and 2022, though these complaints are now listed as inactive. A local planning investigation into an alleged illegal change of use from retail to residential was conducted, but ultimately resulted in a Closed - No Violation status. Recent building maintenance history shows a sidewalk repair permit was issued in 2010, and patrition walls were installed in 1988.

The property has faced significant and ongoing challenges in recent months, particularly related to exterior maintenance and public space management. Between October 2024 and January 2025, there have been multiple reports of sidewalk defects and garbage debris issues, including two open cases of collapsed sidewalks and several instances of abandoned garbage requiring city intervention. Other recent concerns include illegal postings, tree maintenance needs, one instance of graffiti, and the resolution of an encampment situation near the property. The building's environmental and public space challenges are highlighted by a cluster of recent complaints, most of which have been resolved or closed, though some remain open as of January 2025. Two fire incidents have been recorded, though neither resulted in civilian injuries: one was a false alarm and the other involved unauthorized burning.

Risk rating

How 2501-2503 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1856 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
