Rent & eviction protection

Is 301 Raymond 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.

Just-cause eviction

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 two-unit residential building at 301 Raymond Avenue, known as Valley Baptist Church of SF, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1921 in the Visitacion Valley neighborhood. The property underwent significant window upgrades in 2006, with the installation of 30 new vinyl dual-glazed windows, improving energy efficiency with a U-factor of 0.67, at a cost of $13,560. The building has experienced multiple maintenance and cleanliness issues in recent months, with an unusual cluster of reports between June and November 2024, primarily related to garbage and debris on public thoroughfares, with seven separate incidents requiring intervention from Recology and Public Works, most of which have been resolved. There were also three construction-related noise complaints documented in late 2024, with one case in October being unable to locate the address. Additionally, there appears to be a recent issue with graffiti affecting local infrastructure, with three separate reports in June 2024 concerning fire/police callboxes and street surfaces, which remain open as of the latest records. The most significant recent issues relate to exterior maintenance and neighborhood cleanliness, suggesting some challenges with property upkeep in the surrounding areas, though the building's internal systems improvements from 2006 represent a notable investment in resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 301 Raymond 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
93rdpercentile

Out of 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
