Rent & eviction protection

Is 3434-3436 Scott 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

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 duplex property at 3434-3436 Scott Street, located in the Marina neighborhood, is a 2-unit, 2-story building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by the Worthing Family 1992 Trust. The building has undergone extensive renovations and improvements over recent years, with the most significant work occurring between 2018 and 2021. Major rehabilitation projects included comprehensive remodels of both units' kitchens and bathrooms (2019), the addition of new bathrooms and laundry facilities (2019-2021), and complete systems upgrades including new furnaces, water heaters, and electrical panels. The property underwent substantial interior improvements during 2018-2019, particularly on the 2nd and 3rd floors, adding new living spaces and modern amenities with an investment of over $375,000.

The building's infrastructure has been actively maintained, with recent work including the replacement of the house trap and sewer lateral (2021), the installation of gas fireplaces (2020), and the complete electrical system upgrade separating the common areas from the units (2021). Several older permits indicate previous proposed work that was either modified or cancelled, including a 2011 permit for an additional unit conversion that was cancelled. Recent 311 calls primarily concern parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways between 2019-2024, though these incidents don't directly impact the building's condition or resident experience. The property has shown consistent investment in maintenance and modernization, with all major systems receiving attention and significant interior improvements completed to contemporary standards.

Risk rating

How 3434-3436 Scott 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
88thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 119 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.
