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 2969-2971 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 property at 2969-2971 24th Street is a three-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, containing 4 units and constructed in 1900, currently owned by Francisco & Eduviges Martin. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the years, including an interior remodel for restaurant use in 2003, and most recently in October 2024, installation of a grease trap interceptor for a tree compartment sink. There have been some concerning maintenance issues, including a serious housing complaint from 1995 documenting multiple problems such as lack of heat, plumbing issues, pest infestations, and deteriorated interior conditions, though these were marked as abated by December 1995.

More recent issues include an unpermitted construction complaint from 2012 regarding unauthorized room additions, and some ongoing exterior maintenance challenges. The building has experienced several environmental and infrastructure issues in recent years, including sewer problems (March 2020), noise complaints (July 2020), and multiple instances of graffiti (2020-2024). A significant amount of exterior maintenance work has been documented through 311 calls, including debris removal, graffiti abatement, and street space issues. Historical records show building improvements dating back to the 1990s, including reroofing and various repairs to windows, painting, flooring, and security features. The property has also been involved in commercial activity, evidenced by the 2003 restaurant conversion and associated permits, indicating a mixed-use character with both residential and commercial components.

Risk rating

How 2969-2971 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
33rdpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1595 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
