Rent & eviction protection

Is 3445-3447 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 1936
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1936
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

This two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 3445-3447 Divisadero Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Benedict Marvin & Amanda, was constructed in 1936 and has undergone significant renovations over the past several years. The property has seen substantial improvements between 2020 and 2022, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and electrical upgrades, with associated costs totaling over $250,000. These renovations included a major kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2020 ($50,000), bathroom remodels and washer/dryer installations in 2020-2021 ($17,000), and electrical work including the installation of two 100-amp sub-panels. Permits were obtained for most work, though there were some complaints in early 2021 regarding unauthorized work and excessive noise levels during construction, which were investigated by various city departments.

The building has a history of addressing housing and building code compliance issues, with most past complaints being resolved or abated. Notably, there was a short-term rental complaint in 2019-2020 related to possible un-permitted dwelling unit use through Airbnb, though this matter was addressed and closed by city authorities. The property underwent routine safety inspections in 2001, 2006, and 2016, with no significant issues reported in recent years. The only recorded fire incidents were minor incidents of smoke removal and false detector activation with no injuries reported. Recent complaints from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned exterior issues such as garbage/debris and parking violations, rather than building safety or habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 3445-3447 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

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
73rdpercentile
