Rent & eviction protection

Is 308 Filbert 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 1925
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1925
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 308 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Rocco R & Carol C Fazio 199, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925. The property's maintenance record shows consistent attention to roof upkeep, with reroofing projects completed in 2016 (costing $16,147) and 1990, demonstrating responsible property management over time. However, there are concerning historical fire safety issues, with two complaints about blocked exits recorded in 2005 and 2006, though one was determined to have no merit and the other was promptly corrected.

The building's recent history shows relatively few building-specific issues, with most 311 calls relating to external public space matters rather than the building itself. These calls include a 2023 report of an abandoned vehicle (which was determined to be at the wrong location), a 2022 incident of offensive graffiti on a public staircase that was resolved by city crews, and multiple general service requests in 2021. Earlier incidents from 2013 included a reported defect in the public stairway causing puddling, loose garbage collection needs, and a general service request that were all resolved. A 2017 report of medical waste (needles) on the street was also resolved. While these incidents primarily relate to the building's immediate surroundings rather than the structure itself, they do provide context about the neighborhood and its maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 308 Filbert 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
53rdpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 321 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
