Rent & eviction protection

Is 301 Crescent 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 1900
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.

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 301 Crescent Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Robert O. Donjacour. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with major work completed in 2017 including the installation of a new 200-amp electrical service with two meters, comprehensive electrical upgrades including new circuits and receptacles, and the replacement of plumbing infrastructure with a new water heater and copper piping. A notable structural repair was performed in 2018 addressing dry rot issues in the sillplate, specifically on the west-facing back corner of the building.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, including a completed sewer line repair in 2012 and an older reroofing project from 1996. A building complaint was filed in July 2017 regarding an unpermitted structure in the rear yard, which reportedly impacted tenant privacy; this issue was subsequently closed with no violation found upon investigation. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine municipal services, including street cleaning and waste management, with the most recent incidents in late 2023 involving missed trash collection and garbage accumulation. While there were three parking-related complaints in the vicinity between 2021 and 2022, and some street maintenance issues including graffiti and hazardous material spills, these appear to be external to the property itself and were all resolved through normal city processes. Two fire-related complaints from September 2008 were investigated and found to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 301 Crescent 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
48thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 664 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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