Rent & eviction protection

Is 235-237 7Th 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 before 1979
Built 1914

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1914
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 235-237 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond district, owned by Florence Ho Jang Survivor T, was constructed in 1914 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 2010 costing $8,500, and the installation of vinyl siding with 3/4 insulation on the right wall and rear in 1998. Two street space permits were issued in 2009 and 2019, with minimal associated costs.

The building's maintenance and environmental record shows regular attention to exterior upkeep, though primarily through municipal services rather than direct building management intervention. There have been several incidents of graffiti (most recently in 2018), two reports of abandoned vehicles (2018), and multiple general cleaning requests related to street and sidewalk maintenance. A noteworthy issue was reported in 2018 regarding a dead tree in an above-ground planter that was deemed a homeowner responsibility. The property's planning records confirm its original construction as a two-story, two-unit building, with no significant modifications or developments recorded beyond routine maintenance and improvements.

Risk rating

How 235-237 7Th 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
74thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 448 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
