Rent & eviction protection

Is 3148-3150 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 1925
2 or more units

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 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

This two-unit residential building, located at 3148-3150 Octavia Street in the Marina district, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925, currently owned by Ikeda Kaori A. The building has experienced several significant events over its history, with the most notable being a fire incident in May 1999 that required repairs, followed by renovation work in the rear bedroom that same month, and an address correction in August 1999. On the infrastructure maintenance front, the property underwent a reroofing project in October 2004 (permit expired) and electrical system upgrades including wiring improvements and installation of new receptacles and dishwasher in 2017, as well as a more comprehensive upgrade in 2007 that involved replacing the fuse box with a breaker panel and installing new ground rods and wire.

In recent months (2024-2025), the property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk, with multiple cases reported and resolved between August and October 2024. There has also been a notable pattern of driveway blocking incidents, with four parking enforcement calls between October 2024 and January 2025, though some of these cases were invalidated due to incomplete reporting information. The most recent cases include three driveway blocking complaints in December 2024, with at least one resulting in a citation. While these parking enforcement issues and garbage complaints represent the building's most recent challenges, it's worth noting these are primarily external and street-related matters rather than direct building or tenant issues.

Risk rating

How 3148-3150 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
58thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 415 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
