Rent & eviction protection

Is 333 Bay St 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 1975
2 or more units

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 25-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 333 Bay Street in North Beach, owned by 333 Bay G1 Lp, has undergone significant renovations since 2020, with 11 units receiving comprehensive updates to kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry facilities. Most recently, there have been several concerning events, including multiple complaints in late 2023 and early 2024 regarding after-hours construction noise, particularly affecting Unit 104. The building is currently facing three open fire violations from November 2023 related to sleeping area requirements, while recent building permits show continued fire safety system upgrades, including a 2022 fire alarm system compliance improvement.

The building has a history of construction-related issues, particularly during the 2020-2021 renovation period, with multiple resident complaints about dust and particle migration affecting adjacent units, as well as concerns about construction permit compliance and work safety. Earlier violations from 2005 and 2013 were promptly addressed, including electrical conduit repairs and smoke detector installations. The property has maintained regular updates to its fire safety systems, as evidenced by 2021-2022 permits for fire alarm system upgrades and related improvements. Recent 311 calls from 2024 show ongoing concerns about garbage and debris management around the property, though these are primarily street-level issues.

Risk rating

How 333 Bay St'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
2ndpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 355 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
