430 Crescent Ave

Bernal Heights, SF 94110 5810001 3 units · 1 fl · 1922

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.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 430 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.

Built 1922
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 430 Crescent Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by the Betecone-klein Family Trust, was constructed in 1922 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with two major kitchen and bathroom remodels performed in 2009 and 2011 totaling approximately $47,000, including plumbing and electrical updates. In 2003, the front entrance stairs and deck were repaired and replaced due to safety concerns, which had been documented in a lead paint violation from 2002, along with issues related to guardrails and drainage pipes - all of which were properly addressed and abated by October 2003. Recent building maintenance includes multiple plumbing and electrical improvements, though there have been ongoing parking enforcement issues with multiple reports of blocked driveways and some environmental concerns regarding garbage and debris in the vicinity, all of which have been resolved or are being addressed.

The property has demonstrated regular maintenance attention, as evidenced by the 2009 kitchen rewiring project (involving extensive electrical work) and various plumbing updates. A 2005 electrical complaint regarding non-functioning outlets was promptly investigated and resolved. The building's roof was reportedly replaced in 1995, though this permit has expired. Recent infrastructure issues include an open sidewalk defect on Crescent Avenue reported in October 2024 involving tree roots, and a water main issue reported in October 2024 that was accepted for inspection. The property has not had any active housing violations since 2003, and all documented lead paint concerns were resolved through proper remediation procedures. Recent maintenance calls primarily relate to parking enforcement and street cleaning rather than building-specific issues, suggesting that major building systems have been adequately maintained.

Risk rating

How 430 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
17thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1059 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.
