Rent & eviction protection

Is 3665 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.

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.

Just-cause eviction

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

This three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building at 3665 Fillmore Street in the Marina district, owned by E & B Schlesinger Fam Ltd P, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance since its construction in 1928. The property has seen substantial unit improvements since 2017, with eight units (4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 16, and 1) receiving comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovations, including electrical upgrades and new fixtures, with costs ranging from $14,000 to $38,000 per unit. Recent major structural work includes the replacement of the south-facing courtyard wall for dry rot repair (August 2024, $500,000) and a large-scale demolition project to replace damaged plywood and studs (April 2024, $35,000).

The building has a history of fire safety concerns, with three fire complaints in 2024 regarding blocked exits and exit maintenance (resolved March 2024), and a previous alarm systems issue in October 2021 (resolved June 2022). Historical violations from 2006 and 2010 included problems with stairs, fire escape maintenance, and the central alarm system, though all were abated by December 2006. The property is classified as a Tier 2 soft-story building, indicating that seismic retrofit work has been completed and a Certificate of Final Completion was issued. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved routine upkeep and modernization efforts, including a significant electrical system upgrade in 2021 for Unit 1 and ongoing fire safety system maintenance. The building's maintenance history suggests regular investment in improvements, though recent fire safety concerns indicate attention to building systems remains necessary.

Risk rating

How 3665 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
10thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 889 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
