Rent & eviction protection

Is 3521-3523 Scott 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 property at 3521-3523 Scott Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, owned by the Eileen J Guibert 2009 Trust and constructed in 1925. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2011 at a cost of $10,980. Historical records show various cosmetic upgrades in the late 1990s, including interior door and casing replacements, as well as kitchen cabinet and appliance updates in 1987. Safety improvements have included the installation of a fire sprinkler system in the garage and storage rooms in 1990, though this permit shows as expired.

More recent events of note relate to persistent parking enforcement issues, with numerous citations issued between 2023 and 2025 for vehicles blocking driveways in front of the property. During this two-year period, there have been at least ten reported incidents requiring parking enforcement, with citations issued in several cases, though some resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Two parking-related incidents occurred in 2023 that officers could not validate - one involving a white Jeep on March 1 and another involving a white Toyota Tundra allegedly parking on the sidewalk on February 28. An abandoned vehicle complaint from February 2022 regarding a white Nissan pickup truck was found to have no merit, as the vehicle was not actually blocking the driveway.

Risk rating

How 3521-3523 Scott 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
78thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 217 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
