Rent & eviction protection

Is 241 Plymouth 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.

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.

241 Plymouth Avenue is a 12-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by Arcilla Angelo & Elena M. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being raw sewage incidents reported in June 2023, multiple active building violations from 2019 including issues with skylights, window repairs, and unit door latch problems, and ongoing fire safety concerns including fire extinguisher maintenance and alarm system reliability. The building has a history of structural and safety-related maintenance work, with permits issued in 2024 to replace approximately 24 windows to comply with notice of violation requirements, and previous work including structural beam replacement in 2019 and dry rot repairs in 2003.

Historical records show recurring issues with water systems, heating, and safety equipment, including multiple complaints about plumbing problems, heating systems, and security features. The building has undergone various improvements over the years, including window replacements and structural repairs, but many maintenance issues remain unresolved. The property has generated numerous 311 calls in recent months regarding garbage and debris overflow, suggesting ongoing management challenges. Fire safety inspections between 2021-2024 have identified multiple concerns with alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems, though most have been marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit" upon reinspection. While some repairs and improvements have been made, including window upgrades and structural work, the building continues to experience maintenance challenges that affect resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 241 Plymouth 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
0thpercentile

Out of 79 buildings in this neighborhood, 79 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
