Rent & eviction protection

Is 3360 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 1927
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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

The 13-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3360 Octavia Street, owned by Magnolia Properties Inc, was constructed in 1927 in the Marina neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (classified as Tier 3) for $135,000, which included Ufer grounding installation and seismic safety improvements. Recent maintenance work has included plumbing system updates with backflow device replacements in 2018 and 2016, and various unit-specific renovations, such as a kitchen upgrade in Unit #4 in 2017.

The building has experienced recurring safety and maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning fire safety and emergency egress. Multiple violations were recorded in 2024 for blocked exits, including a January 2024 fire violation for egress obstructions that has since been abated. There is a concerning recent complaint from August 2024 about a hazardous black rod protruding from the north side of the building. Historical violations from 2008 involved damaged ceilings and egress obstructions, though these were resolved within two months. The property has maintained active compliance with major systems, including a new steam heating boiler installation in 2008 and regular maintenance of fire alarm systems, though violations were noted in 2018 and 2022 that were subsequently corrected. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 show recurring issues with sidewalk blockages due to scooters, though these are external to the building itself. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, though the pattern of recent fire safety violations and egress obstruction complaints raises concerns about ongoing safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 3360 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
