Rent & eviction protection

Is 1584 Geneva 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 1970
2 or more units

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 1970
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 apartment building at 1584 Geneva Ave, owned by Tat Man & Sharon W Cheung R, was constructed in 1970 and spans two stories in the Croker Amazon neighborhood. The property has undergone several maintenance and compliance updates over the years, including a deck repair project in 2007 that involved replacing damaged wood decking, beams, and installing new posts. Historical records show a complete reroofing project in 1996 and a compliance update in 1986.

The building has faced multiple maintenance and safety issues over the years, with several inspection citations requiring attention. Notable violations occurred between 2000-2011, including several fire safety concerns such as egress obstructions, combustible storage issues, and self-closing device requirements. A significant complaint in 2011 reported problems with heat, entry gate functionality, and common area cleanliness, though these issues were resolved within approximately six weeks. The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2006. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved the surrounding area, with multiple reports of parking violations, structural maintenance needs, and street cleaning matters documented through 311 calls between 2022-2025. While these external issues have been consistently addressed by city services, they represent ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 1584 Geneva 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
94thpercentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
