Rent & eviction protection

Is 242-244 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.

Built 1926
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 242-244 Holloway Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Ingleside neighborhood and owned by Eugene Zhou. Constructed in 1926, this flats/duplex-style building has undergone significant renovations over the past few years. In 2020, major improvements included the legalization of an existing unit, bathroom alterations, creation of new bedrooms and bathrooms, deck stair repairs, seismic upgrades, and compliance with landscape front setback requirements, with a total cost of $90,000. Subsequent safety enhancements were implemented in 2022, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system in the ground floor ($15,000) and a sprinkler monitoring system ($4,000). The building received substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades in December 2021, including a complete rewiring of the ground floor, kitchen and bathroom renovations, installation of new furnace and water heater, and an electrical panel upgrade to 200 amps.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, most notably in October 2020 with a complaint regarding water intrusion, heat problems, and electrical issues, though these matters were marked as not active. In September 2013, multiple violations were recorded concerning peeling paint, lead paint hazards, and weatherproofing of siding, which were all abated by October 21, 2013. Regarding the most recent concerns, there have been several parking-related incidents near the property, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways recorded between 2018 and 2024, though most of these complaints were either unable to be located or were marked as invalid due to incomplete reporting information.

Risk rating

How 242-244 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
92ndpercentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 12 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
