Rent & eviction protection

Is 3133-3137 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 1907
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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 Wong Family Trust owns this 1907 two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. The property, containing 4 units, has a significant history of maintenance and safety-related work, most notably experiencing substantial fire damage in 2001 that resulted in major repairs to both residential units on the second and third floors and kitchen facilities. Recent maintenance activities include a completed reroofing project in September 2023 (cost: $8,000) and the installation of a new business sign in October 2023 (cost: $1,200). The building has undergone various inspections and improvements over the years, including a 2012 shed repair to address complaints and routine security upgrades in 2002, where security violations related to entry door viewers were identified and subsequently resolved.

More recent concerns have emerged regarding the ground floor commercial space, with a 2023 complaint about the appearance and maintenance of a long-vacant storefront (Hai Sun Chinese Restaurant) that had reportedly become a magnet for homeless encampments. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in late 2023 through 2024, primarily related to exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti removal, garbage collection, and sidewalk cleaning. While these exterior maintenance issues have been resolved by city services, they indicate an ongoing need for attention to the building's public-facing elements.

Risk rating

How 3133-3137 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
40thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 517 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

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