Rent & eviction protection

Is 3987-3989 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 1900
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 1900
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 3987-3989 24th Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Shibata Survivors Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with major work including the installation of a new concrete foundation and storage rooms in 2014-2015 (cost: $75,000), creation of a fitness studio on the ground floor in 2015 (cost: $70,000), reroofing in 2017 (cost: $14,500), and various electrical and plumbing upgrades completed in 2016-2017. Several building complaints have been registered over the years, including concerns about construction hours in 2017, deck safety in 2016, and unauthorized demolition work in 2015, though these issues were addressed and are no longer active.

The building's recent history shows attention to maintenance and safety, with multiple completed permits for essential systems upgrades such as electrical rewiring, lighting installation, and HVAC improvements. The property has remained active in the commercial space market, with changes of operator for existing businesses and modifications to usage approvals. Recent 311 calls from 2021 to 2024 primarily relate to street and sidewalk cleaning issues, with ongoing concerns about pavement defects reported in 2023, though these external matters are not directly related to building conditions. The fitness studio and previous commercial uses indicate the ground floor has been utilized for business purposes, with appropriate permits showing compliance with local regulations.

Risk rating

How 3987-3989 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.
