Rent & eviction protection

Is 3231-3235 Pierce 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 1913
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 1913
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 3231-3235 Pierce Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Jeanne Sibley, was constructed in 1913 and includes ground-floor commercial space. The property has undergone several significant renovations, most recently a $14,700 reroofing project completed in 2018. Historical records show substantial work performed in 2002, including kitchen renovations, electrical upgrades, window replacements, and deck repairs, though this work initially triggered building violations due to lack of permits. These violations, related to interior surfaces, plumbing, electrical systems, and lead paint concerns, were eventually abated by 2013. The building underwent various improvements in the mid-2000s, including interior sheetrock work and attempts to upgrade rear yard access, though some permits were cancelled.

More recent history shows the building experienced maintenance issues in early 2017, including heating system failures and various interior problems, though these complaints were resolved within a few months. The property has a documented history of exterior maintenance needs as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024, primarily relating to sidewalk cleaning, garbage, and debris removal. Three 311 calls were made in the most recent period (2023-2024), with the most recent being for an encampment issue reported in September 2024, which remains open. While these external maintenance issues have been addressed through standard city services, it's worth noting that they represent ongoing challenges with the building's immediate surroundings, particularly during historical periods of elevated services requests, notably in 2021 when multiple cleaning requests were documented.

Risk rating

How 3231-3235 Pierce 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
25thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 741 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
