Rent & eviction protection

Is 3825-3829 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 1907
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1907
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

This 3-unit multi-family residential building, located at 3825-3829 24th Street in Noe Valley, is a three-story flats & duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Susanna Shaw. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most concerning being active building code violations from 2010 related to unauthorized electrical work, unapproved electrical wiring, substandard building conditions, and heating system problems. In 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding construction work occurring without proper permits, reports of pest infestations, and concerns about living conditions, including claims of over-occupancy in the middle floor unit and improper garbage disposal practices. During the past 15 years, the building has undergone various improvements and repairs, including heating system upgrades in 2016 (installing new gas furnaces to replace electric heaters), kitchen and bathroom refinishing work in 2020, and several safety-related improvements such as handrail repairs, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work to address housing inspection violations.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including multiple citations for improper combustible storage, self-closing door requirements, and missing fire extinguishers from 2009-2012, though many of these earlier violations have been marked as resolved. Recent activity around the property includes frequent reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the sidewalk in 2022-2024, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for street cleaning services. The building underwent a condo conversion process, which was approved, and historical records indicate the installation of essential safety features such as smoke alarms and updated gas venting systems across all units. While some permit-related issues appear to have been addressed through subsequent work (such as the 2020 renovation that included electrical and plumbing updates), the persistence of certain building code violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 3825-3829 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.
