Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3653 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

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 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 3653 24th Street property is a 7-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building in Noe Valley, owned by Joseph V. and Kathryn L. Martoc and built in 1900. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most recently, the property completed a soft-story retrofit in 2019, addressing seismic safety requirements, after previous violations in 2014 and 2017 for failure to submit necessary documentation. The building has a history of renovations and maintenance work, including a $50,000 soft-story addition in 2019, foundation reinforcement in 2007, various electrical upgrades in 2004-2006 for multiple units, and kitchen remodels in units #1, #2, #4, and #6.

The property experienced notable safety and maintenance challenges in the past, including multiple fire safety violations in December 2005 related to means of egress, exit illumination, fire alarm systems, and standpipe maintenance, though these were all subsequently resolved. There were also building code violations in 2001 regarding stairs and smoke detector repairs that were addressed within two weeks. More recent history shows regular maintenance and prompt response to issues, with some concerns about driveway blocking reported in 2024 and one instance of a rodent/insect infestation in 2019. Routine inspections, including a 2008 housing inspection and various construction-related complaints in 2004, indicate ongoing property management activity.

Risk rating

How 3653 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
26thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1390 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)
