Rent & eviction protection

Is 3740 Fillmore 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 1933
2 or more units
18 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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.

Built 1933
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

3740 Fillmore Street is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1933, currently owned by Scott Survivors Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in 2024, the property completed mandatory fire safety upgrades, including the installation of additional notification devices throughout the building to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building has experienced recurring boiler-related compliance issues, with three documented violations between 2006 and 2022 regarding unpermitted boiler operations, though these issues were ultimately resolved. Fire safety has been a recurring concern, with two violation notices in 2021 regarding extinguishers and sprinkler systems, and earlier violations in 2008 and 2011 related to alarm systems and fire proofing.

Recent infrastructural improvements include a 2023 panel upgrade and backflow device replacement, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of essential systems. The building has undergone several significant renovations, including a 2008 window replacement project costing $55,000, where 84 street-side windows were replaced with new aluminum units. A notable expired permit from 2009 proposed converting a storage room into a laundry facility with individual storage cubicles for tenants. The property has experienced consistent parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024 for vehicles blocking driveways. Street space permits were issued in 2017, and various plumbing and electrical works have been completed over the years, including installation of a new boiler system in 2016 and laundry-related infrastructure in 2009. The building's fire safety systems have undergone periodic inspections and corrections, with most recent fire complaints in 2024 found to have no merit regarding alarm systems and street numbering.

Risk rating

How 3740 Fillmore 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
5thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 939 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

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