Rent & eviction protection

Is 3560 Pierce 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 1927

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 1927
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

Situated in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, 3560 Pierce Street is a 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, containing six units and currently owned by 3560 P Trust. The building has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, with the most recent major work including the completion of mandatory soft-story retrofitting in 2014 (at a cost of $60,000), which received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) as a Tier 4 building. Other substantial improvements include a complete reroofing in 2014 ($21,250), installation of a new steam boiler in 2007, and significant electrical upgrades including a service panel upgrade from 100A to 200A in 2008 and additional outlet installations in 2009.

The building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, particularly with its sewer system, as evidenced by multiple sewer-related service calls in 2010, including backups and line replacement work. Environmental health matters have also been addressed, with a lead-related service request in 2013 being transferred to the Childhood Lead Prevention Program. More recent history shows typical urban building management issues, including several parking enforcement matters and street service requests, with the most recent service request being resolved in July 2023. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to major systems, including multiple reroofing projects in the early '90s and seismic safety improvements, suggesting proactive management of the property's structural integrity and safety systems over its nearly 100-year lifespan.

Risk rating

How 3560 Pierce 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 692 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.9%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 31.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
