Rent & eviction protection

Is 3337-3339 Steiner 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

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 1925
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 property at 3337-3339 Steiner Street is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by the Louie Family Living Trust. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, with all five units receiving substantial updates between 2020 and 2022, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and some units receiving additional features such as laundry facilities. Notable improvements include Unit #1's renovation in 2022 (costing $60,000 combined), a furnace replacement in 2020, and extensive electrical and plumbing work throughout the building. The property has had three roofing projects documented, with the most recent completed in 2015 at a cost of $11,000.

There have been several fire safety concerns in recent years, with multiple "Operating Without A Permit" violations recorded between 2023 and 2024, though most were resolved with conditions corrected or found to have no merit. A fire escape issue was reported and corrected in June 2024, and a LP gas permit violation from March 2023 was abated. The building's history includes routine safety inspections in 1997, 2000, 2007, 2011, and 2013, with all being marked as not active. Earlier violations from 2000 involved egress obstruction issues that were resolved within two months. Recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily concerned external issues such as garbage and debris (2023-2025), with some relating to parking meters and construction noise. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes, though the pattern of operating without permits for various activities suggests some ongoing challenges with permit adherence, most recently addressed in mid-2024.

Risk rating

How 3337-3339 Steiner 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
44thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 553 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
