3355 Octavia St

Marina, SF 94123 0471001 12 units · 3 fl · 1925

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3355 Octavia 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

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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 three-story, 12-unit apartment building at 3355 Octavia St in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Dorosin Enterprises, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and structural improvements since its construction in 1925. Most recently, in 2023, the building completed a substantial fire alarm system upgrade ($31,148) to comply with current safety regulations, which included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and the upgrading of all existing devices. The building has completed mandatory seismic retrofitting as a Tier 2 soft-story building, including reinforcement of foundation walls and installation of new steel strong walls, with work certified by the CFC. Other notable structural improvements include a 2014 upgrade where wood posts in the ground floor garage were replaced with steel posts ($10,000).

The building's maintenance and safety record shows attention to critical systems, including a 2009 steam boiler replacement and a 2004 electrical service upgrade to 200 amps with new panels for all units. While there were several fire safety violations between 2005 and 2013 related to boiler permits and fire safety systems, all were properly addressed and abated. The property has experienced periodic fire safety inspections, with issues such as blocked exits and extinguisher concerns being promptly corrected. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as graffiti and sidewalk blockages, rather than building-specific problems. The building's proactive approach to maintaining safety systems is evidenced by regular upgrades and prompt responses to inspection findings, with no active violations currently on record.

Risk rating

How 3355 Octavia 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
19thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 800 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
