Rent & eviction protection

Is 24-26 Fairmount 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 1912
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 1912
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 two-story multi-family residential building at 24-26 Fairmount Street in Glen Park, which includes three units and was built in 1912, is currently facing several significant issues that impact resident safety and comfort. The property has active building violations from June 2022, including concerns about lead paint, plumbing issues, and various interior surface deficiencies. Multiple permits have been issued in the past year for significant structural work, including a $135,000 project in November 2023 to replace a rear pop-out structure due to dry rot, and earlier work in 2022 involving extensive repairs to address deterioration. There were also multiple complaints in 2022 regarding construction practices, including concerns about debris management, unsafe working conditions, and potential asbestos exposure during renovation work.

The building has experienced persistent maintenance and structural issues over the years, with records showing problems ranging from water intrusion and roof damage in 2015 to plumbing issues in 2013. Recent complaints in August 2023 indicate concerns about paint handling and potential lead exposure near a daycare facility. The property has undergone multiple repair and renovation attempts, including the replacement of windows, reroofing in 2016, and various interior remodels, though many work permits have been associated with building violations or other compliance issues. The building's current ownership structure is under the Zanco Trust, and while there have been various attempts to document the building's legal unit configuration, there are apparent discrepancies between the main building and rear structure uses.

Risk rating

How 24-26 Fairmount 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
