Rent & eviction protection

Is 3110-3114 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 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.

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 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3110-3114 Laguna Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Ng Family Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone significant recent activity. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016 (Tier 4 status, CFC issued) at a cost of $57,000, followed by substantial mechanical upgrades in 2022 including the installation of 4 water heaters, 5 wall furnaces, and 3 fan coil units with associated piping work. Recent apartment renovations have occurred in 2024, including work on Unit #2 (countertops, sink, cabinet replacement) and a $33,000 renovation to comply with a violation notice that included interior painting, flooring, bathroom fixtures, and lighting upgrades.

The building has experienced some regulatory challenges, particularly in 2024, when violations were issued for unpermitted work involving plumbing modifications, resulting in water damage complaints from neighboring units. These issues were documented in tenant complaints and subsequently addressed through proper permitting and repairs. The property has maintained attention to safety systems, though there was one recorded gas leak incident (no injuries) and two CO detector activations with no CO present. Historical records show various maintenance activities including stair repairs (2008), and an attempted ADU conversion in 2022 that was withdrawn. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as parking enforcement and street cleaning, while routine maintenance and safety inspections have been conducted regularly.

Risk rating

How 3110-3114 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
27thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 629 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
