Rent & eviction protection

Is 1636 Revere Ave 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 1930
2 or more units

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

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 1930
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 1636 Revere Ave is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, constructed in 1930. The building is currently facing multiple active violations stemming from a December 2022 complaint (#202200444) that triggered a series of identified issues requiring attention, including problems with electrical systems, egress obstructions, common area access, garbage receptacle placement, window repairs, dryer vent compliance, and various permit requirements. These violations are particularly concerning due to their potential impact on resident safety and building compliance, and they were formally documented in multiple Notices of Violation (NOV) starting December 21, 2022, with final warning letters issued February 24, 2023, and a director hearing scheduled for February 1, 2024.

Most recently, as part of addressing these violations, a permit was filed in June 2024 to legalize a bathroom and closet at the garage level, including verification of plumbing and electrical systems, installation of safety features, and proper venting. The building's maintenance history shows previous work including a reroofing project from 1995, which is now expired. Since late 2024, there have been numerous reports of garbage and debris issues outside the building, with multiple calls to street cleaning services and parking enforcement for various violations, including illegal parking and abandoned vehicles near the property. A minor outside equipment fire incident was recorded at the property, though with no civilian injuries reported. The building's condition and ongoing violation resolution process are currently under the oversight of the developer La Torre, Milene fMLT Engineering & Architectural Design Services, as indicated by recent planning records noting work under review to address the identified compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 1636 Revere Ave'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
21stpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 302 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
