Rent & eviction protection

Is 3537-3539 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 1939
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.

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 two-story multi-family residential building at 3537-3539 Fillmore Street in the Marina neighborhood, built in 1939 and owned by High Sierra Revoc Tr, consists of three units and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The building's maintenance history shows two significant permitted improvements: a substantial reroofing project completed in December 2006 at a cost of $24,515, and a stucco repair project from January 1993 that was necessitated by the replacement of broken leader pipes. While there have been no recorded fire incidents specifically affecting this address, there was a general service call recorded by the fire department with no civilian injuries noted.

Recent municipal records from 2021-2024 indicate several street-level maintenance issues in the vicinity, including multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring cleanup (most recently in July and August 2024), and several parking enforcement requests related to blocked driveways (though many were invalid due to incomplete reporting information). The property experienced one notable infrastructure issue in September 2021 with a damaged tree due to vandalism, for which DPW indicated limited resources for replacement. Street cleaning matters were consistently addressed by various city departments, with the most recent cases being successfully resolved.

Risk rating

How 3537-3539 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
48thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 514 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
