Rent & eviction protection

Is 3965 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
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
24NOE
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 3965 24th Street in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Casey Julia Estate. The building has undergone significant renovations over the past two years, with major work commencing in 2022 including the remodeling of two levels with new kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and repairs to stairs and decks. A substantial basement conversion project was also undertaken in 2022, adding habitable space with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a cooking area, though this appears to have required additional revisions as indicated by a subsequent permit in 2024. Recent work in 2023 included repairs to 850 square feet of sheathing on the rear side of the building, and multiple systems upgrades including the installation of new furnaces and comprehensive electrical work in early 2024.

The building's recent history shows some concerning incidents related to construction work, including a complaint in July 2022 regarding improper handling of lead-painted materials, and a noise complaint in January 2024 about construction equipment. While these issues were investigated and resolved, they indicate past concerns about construction site management. The property has also required various system upgrades, including window replacements, siding repairs, and both kitchen and bathroom renovations across its two units. Recent maintenance work has included electrical system upgrades, plumbing improvements, and the installation of multiple safety features such as exhaust fans and sump pumps. The building's location has experienced typical urban issues as documented in 311 calls, including noise complaints, street cleaning needs, and pavement defects, though these are more related to the surrounding area than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3965 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
50thpercentile
