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 236-238 Holloway Ave 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

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.

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-unit residential building at 236-238 Holloway Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1926, currently owned by David C Huang. The building's maintenance history shows three significant improvements: a reroofing project in 1997, interior renovations including sheetrock work and lighting installation in 1989, and the installation of steel siding to the front of the dwelling in 1983. These permitted improvements suggest regular maintenance has been performed over the decades, though the most recent documented structural work is now over 25 years old.

The property has experienced numerous parking-related challenges in the past year, with eight separate parking enforcement calls between October 2023 and April 2024, primarily involving reports of illegal and double parking, with specific mentions of a white Honda vehicle in multiple incidents. These parking issues have resulted in one citation being issued in December 2023, though in many cases officers were unable to locate the reported vehicles. There have also been recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property, with two separate reports of abandoned furniture in late 2024 and an open tree maintenance issue logged in July 2023. While the building's fundamental systems appear to have received historical attention through permitted improvements, the property currently faces ongoing neighborhood challenges related to parking and waste management, which may impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 236-238 Holloway Ave'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
49thpercentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 80 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
