Rent & eviction protection

Is 300 Brazil 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 1908

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.

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 300 Brazil Avenue is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with retail space, built in 1908 and currently owned by the Xenia S Villamejor Trust. The building has experienced several notable issues over its history, with the most recent concern being a July 2023 violation regarding unpermitted garage siding work that resulted in a Notice of Violation (NOV) and subsequent repair permit in August 2023. This incident was preceded by significant complaints from a neighbor regarding unauthorized construction work on the garage, including concerns about the impact on property lines, safety hazards, and water damage to their unit, which were documented in July 2023 and remain active.

The property has a concerning history of safety and compliance issues, including a 2005 violation related to inadequate egress and interior construction problems that were quickly resolved, and a 1997 investigation into possible illegal units that was also promptly addressed. More recently, between June 2024 and January 2025, there have been numerous parking enforcement requests for violations including sidewalk parking and driveway blockages, indicating ongoing access issues in the vicinity. Environmental concerns have also been documented, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on or near the property throughout 2024, though these were generally addressed by municipal services. The property is classified as a "Flat & Store" with multiple residential units, and while planning records indicate some compliance with siding replacement requirements, the building's permit and violation history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring needs.

Risk rating

How 300 Brazil 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
24thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 256 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
