Rent & eviction protection

Is 327-331 Russia 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 1908

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 1908
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 327-331 Russia Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building owned by the Ruggiero Frank Family Limited, constructed in 1908. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, with major improvements completed in late 2022 including comprehensive remodeling of both units' kitchens and bathrooms, relocation of plumbing fixtures, electrical system upgrades, and the installation of new furnaces for both units, with work costing approximately $85,000. This renovation project involved extensive updates including new sheetrock installations, electrical work comprising 40 lights, switches, receptacles, and new appliances, along with plumbing modifications including shower pan installations and laundry facility improvements.

The building's historical record shows some concerning maintenance issues in the past, including a complaint about cockroaches and rodents that was filed in 2008 and resolved by mid-2009, and a 1997 complaint regarding a sinking kitchen floor, problematic water heater placement, and an unsafe gas heater, which was addressed by July 1998. While these past issues might suggest previous maintenance challenges, the extensive recent renovations indicate substantial investment in improving the building's condition. The property has experienced typical urban neighborhood issues such as graffiti, street cleaning needs, and parking violations in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2021 for $100,000 involving one tenant at 331 Russia Avenue, though specific details about the circumstances were not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 327-331 Russia 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
