Rent & eviction protection

Is 3729-3733 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 1941

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 1941
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 3729-3733 24th Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1941 and currently owned by Brian A. Huchro. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a major electrical upgrade in 2004 with a 200A main service conversion and the installation of new underground cabling ($2,000), and a complete window replacement project in 2014 involving 10 vinyl windows compliant with modern energy standards ($5,450). Maintenance issues have been addressed through various permits, including dry rot repairs to rear stairs in 2009 ($1,200) and a water heater replacement in 2011.

The building has experienced several violations and complaints throughout its history, with the most recent concerns focused on construction activity in March 2024, generating multiple noise complaints from neighbors about grinding and cutting sounds. Historical violations from 2001-2009 included security issues, maintenance of stairs, fire safety concerns, and other building-related problems, all of which were eventually abated. The property has undergone routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent one recorded in 2015. Additionally, there was a period of short-term rental activity at the property that generated neighborhood concerns, though this issue appears to have been resolved according to planning records. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as documented in 311 calls, including reports of graffiti, sidewalk cleaning needs, and occasional noise complaints, though none of these relate directly to the building's current condition.

Risk rating

How 3729-3733 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
16thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1578 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
