Noe Valley, SF 94114 6505042 4 units · 2 fl · 1960

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.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 4243 24Th St 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 1960
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 1960
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 two-story multi-family residential building at 4243 24th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Betty Wai Chu Gee Trust, consists of 4 units and was constructed in 1960. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related interventions over the decades, with particular attention required in the early 2000s when multiple fire safety violations were recorded (complaint #200117767) in May 2001 and October 2006. These violations, all of which were abated by August 21, 2001, included issues with combustible storage, egress obstruction, missing directional signs, fire extinguisher requirements, smoke enclosure doors, and smoke detection systems. A carbon monoxide incident was also recorded, though with no civilian injuries reported.

More recent building maintenance includes a complete reroofing project in 2005 ($11,650) and a gas line reinstallation in 2010. The building underwent routine inspections in 2001 and 2006, both of which were resolved. While there have been numerous 311 calls in recent years (2018-2024) regarding parking violations and street cleaning, most issues have been promptly addressed. A parking enforcement call from 2024 regarding a blocked driveway was marked as invalid due to incomplete contact information. The property has shown a pattern of driveway blocking incidents, with six such complaints recorded between 2018 and 2024. An open curb defect issue was reported in 2022, and a damaged tree was scheduled for removal in 2019.

Risk rating

How 4243 24Th St'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
41stpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1109 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
