Rent & eviction protection

Is 3101 Gough 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.

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 20-unit apartment building at 3101 Gough Street, owned by Seven Hills SF LLC, is a three-story structure built in 1925. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly in 2021, when multiple units received substantial updates including kitchen conversions, bathroom rehabilitations, and the installation of in-unit laundry facilities. Major improvements included a $45,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 to comply with current safety codes, and the building has achieved Tier 2 Soft Story compliance with work completed and a CFC issued.

The building experienced serious water-related issues in August 2022, with complaints about water intrusion and mold growth affecting multiple units, particularly Unit 204. There have been recurring fire safety concerns, with several violations and complaints regarding alarm systems and sprinklers between 2017 and 2024, though most have been corrected or abated. Historical issues include a 2005 brick facade failure affecting the garage area, and various safety violations in the mid-2000s related to fire proofing and boiler permits. The property has maintained active regulatory compliance, with recent 311 calls mostly relating to external maintenance matters such as street cleaning and parking issues rather than building safety concerns. Recent inspections and permits indicate ongoing attention to building systems and safety requirements, though the 2022 water damage incident raises concerns about maintenance response times.

Risk rating

How 3101 Gough 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
20thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 790 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
