Rent & eviction protection

Is 3955-3957 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 1926
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 1926
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 multi-family residential building at 3955-3957 24th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Owyang Shirley Trust, has a documented history spanning from its 1926 construction to the present day. The property has recently undergone accessibility improvements, with an automatic door opener installation in September 2023 to comply with the accessible entrance program. Significant structural work was performed in 2004, including underpinning for shoring during adjacent construction and concrete leveling of existing slabs. More recent infrastructure maintenance includes a sewer replacement completed in 2014. The building has experienced multiple false alarms and system activations over the years, including smoke detector, CO detector, and alarm system malfunctions, though none resulted in injuries or actual fires.

The property and surrounding area have faced various maintenance and infrastructure challenges in recent years, particularly during 2024, with multiple reports of pavement defects, flooding issues, and garbage/debris concerns being addressed by city services. There was one plumbing incident in late 2024 involving a 4-inch vent cleaning. The building's fire safety systems have required periodic attention due to false alarms, with the most recent being an unintentional alarm activation. The property is currently facing an open noise complaint from January 2025, and there are several property maintenance issues being addressed, including bench placement and potential sidewalk damage. While the building's systems have experienced some recurring issues, particularly with alarms and system activations, there have been no recorded injuries or major incidents requiring emergency response.

Risk rating

How 3955-3957 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
46thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1015 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.

Neighborhood location

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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