Rent & eviction protection

Is 3250 Laguna 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 1951

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.

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 31-unit multi-family residential building at 3250 Laguna Street, built in 1951 and currently owned by H/S Trust V Dated April 6, has undergone several significant modifications and faced recurring maintenance issues over the past years. Most notably, there have been persistent problems with the building's elevator system, with multiple tenant complaints between 2018 and 2020 reporting frequent malfunctions, including trapping occupants and stopping at improper levels, particularly affecting disabled tenants. The building underwent substantial safety improvements between 2015-2018, including the addition of a new penthouse unit, installation of a fire sprinkler system covering the penthouse and upper floors, and upgrades to the fire alarm system. A controversial unpermitted roof deck installation in 2017 led to multiple violations and required subsequent legalization work in 2018, along with safety upgrades including non-combustible materials and new guardrails.

The property has maintained compliance with soft-story retrofit requirements (classified as Tier 2, Work Complete, CFC Issued), and various building systems have been upgraded, including a domestic boiler replacement in 2021. Several maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, particularly in 2024, including reports of street conditions and environmental concerns near the property. The building's history includes some periods of regulatory scrutiny, including a vacant building complaint in 2014, but most recent work has focused on building system upgrades and compliance with safety requirements. While there have been isolated fire-related incidents recorded, including elevator rescues and smoke detector activations, these have not resulted in civilian injuries, and the building has generally addressed major safety concerns through the permit and inspection process.

Risk rating

How 3250 Laguna 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
7thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 919 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.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
