Rent & eviction protection

Is 305-307 Orizaba 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 1945

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 property at 305-307 Orizaba Ave is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Ingleside Heights, owned by Donna Chu and constructed in 1945. The building has undergone several documented improvements over the years, with the most notable recent renovation being the 2009 window and garage door upgrade project, which involved replacing four windows (two in front and two in back) with energy-efficient units having a U-factor of 0.67. Earlier improvements from the 1980s included the installation of aluminum windows, exterior siding work, and kitchen cabinet replacement.

The property's service request history reveals a recurring pattern of parking-related issues in 2021, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. Between January and July 2021, ten separate parking enforcement calls were made, though many resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. More recent calls include a driveway blocking complaint in February 2023, which was resolved. The building has had minimal maintenance issues recorded through 311 calls, with one general service request to the Department of Public Transportation in November 2022 and a cart pickup related to encampment items in October 2021. The relatively limited number of service requests and consistent record of building improvements suggest proper maintenance of the property over time, with the majority of recent complaints pertaining to external street parking issues rather than building conditions or services.

Risk rating

How 305-307 Orizaba 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
75thpercentile

Out of 45 buildings in this neighborhood, 11 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
