Rent & eviction protection

Is 354 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.

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

354 Crescent Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 354 Crescent Holdings LLC. The property has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are active complaints regarding an unauthorized ground floor unit, with reports filed in September 2023 and September 2024, suggesting the building may contain more units than legally permitted. The building's electrical and plumbing systems received substantial updates in 2019, including a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade and complete rewiring to replace knob-and-tube wiring, though this work was temporarily halted by a notice of violation in April 2019 for exceeding the scope of approved permits. The property has seen various improvements, including reroofing in 2022, kitchen remodeling, and bathroom renovations on the second floor, along with ongoing efforts to legalize a ground-level unit as a JADU, with a permit filed in November 2023.

The building's maintenance history includes some exterior work, such as a withdrawn permit for front stair railing replacement in 2023. Recent infrastructure concerns have been documented through 311 calls, including reports of collapsed sidewalks and garbage issues, though these were primarily street-level concerns rather than directly related to the building's condition. The property experienced one tenant buyout in March 2019, totaling $29,814.52 for one tenant. While there have been various complaints and violations, many have been addressed or resolved, though the current status of the illegal unit situation remains active and under review. The building's utility systems appear to have received necessary modern updates, though the historical legacy systems were clearly problematic, as evidenced by the 2019 violations and subsequent upgrades.

Risk rating

How 354 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 791 are predicted to be safer.
