Rent & eviction protection

Is 3560 Divisadero 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 1926
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.

Built 1926
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 14-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 3560 Divisadero St in the Marina neighborhood, owned by 3560 Divisadero I4 LLC, was constructed in 1926 and has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years. Most notably, the property added six new units under Ordinance No.162-16, with construction of three ADUs completed in 2019-2020. Between 2018 and 2024, the building has seen extensive modernization efforts including the replacement of multiple systems (such as hot water heaters, heating systems, and fire alarm upgrades), conversion of several units' kitchens to bedrooms, installation of in-unit laundry facilities, and window replacements in 2022. The building successfully completed its Tier 4 Soft Story retrofit requirements, receiving a Certificate of Final Completion.

The property has experienced some maintenance and safety challenges, particularly in 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding building conditions including damaged walls, mold issues, plumbing problems, garbage overflow, and multiple fire safety concerns. These issues appear to have been primarily addressed, as evidenced by subsequent inspections and completions of fire safety requirements. Recent records from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing attention to building systems, including the recent installation of new hot water heaters in March 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of proactive improvements and response to safety and habitability concerns, with many recent permits focusing on unit upgrades and common area improvements.

Risk rating

How 3560 Divisadero 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
3th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 958 are predicted to be safer.

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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 20.8%
Moderate concern 56.7%
Severe concern 22.6%
