Rent & eviction protection

Is 3975-3977 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 1905
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1905
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 3975-3977 24th Street in Noe Valley is a two-story multi-family residential building with 3 units and street-level commercial space, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by the Barbara K Martin 2009 Trust. Most recently, in October 2024, significant renovation work was permitted costing $213,000, including window replacements, bathroom and kitchen fan installations, kitchen remodeling in Unit 1, electrical upgrades, and new water heater installations across all units. This follows several concerning maintenance issues identified in 2023, including reports of deteriorating window frames, peeling paint, mold on window sills in multiple units, and problems with building fixtures. The building has a documented history of stair repairs, particularly in 2013 when issues with the rear stairs required multiple permits totaling $23,000. Previous violations in 2002 and 2015 related to egress obstruction, fire safety equipment, and unauthorized construction work, though all were resolved by 2003.

The property's infrastructure has seen various upgrades, including a 2003 electrical service improvement with a 200-amp main disconnect and six meters, though this permit has since expired. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned street-level maintenance issues, including reports of garbage, debris, and sidewalk defects. Two fire-related complaints were filed, one in 2023 and one in 2007, but both were found to have no merit upon investigation. A routine inspection in 2015 noted various issues that were subsequently addressed, and recent remediation work suggests ongoing maintenance of the building's systems. The property underwent significant interior improvements in late 2024, including kitchen remodels, window replacements, and ventilation upgrades, indicating attention to improving resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 3975-3977 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
9thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1710 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
