Rent & eviction protection

Is 3726 Broderick 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 1964
2 or more units
8 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1964
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 three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 3726 Broderick Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by John Parodi, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade to meet current code requirements, installing 75db sounders in sleeping areas and updating the fire panel with compatible devices. The building experienced substantial water damage issues in September 2022, affecting multiple units (3, 5, 6, and 2), which required extensive drywall replacement work costing between $3,000 to $40,000 per unit, along with associated plumbing and electrical repairs. Unit 3 also underwent kitchen and bathroom remodeling during this period.

The property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements, and has maintained regular updates to its systems, including a 100-gallon water heater replacement and various unit renovations (notably Unit 7's kitchen remodel in 2020). While there have been several building violations over the years related to fire safety, exits, and handrails (most notably in 2006 and 2016), these were all addressed and abated. The most recent boiler permit compliance issue was filed in May 2024 but was subsequently resolved by July 2024. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking issues near the property, with some noise complaints recorded in late 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The building has experienced typical urban challenges including a few minor incidents requiring fire department response, primarily related to smoke detector activations and water leaks, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents.

Risk rating

How 3726 Broderick 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
37thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 622 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location

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