Rent & eviction protection

Is 3241-3249 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 before 1979
Built 1914
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 1914
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 5-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 3241-3249 Scott Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Fenchuk Evelyn M Trust and built in 1914, has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most notably, the building suffered damage in April 2021 when a vehicle collided with the structure, resulting in both cosmetic damage to the facade and gas line damage that required emergency repairs and gas meter removal by PG&E. This incident prompted subsequent repairs, including a wall reconstruction project costing $26,600 completed in late 2021, and a recent sewer replacement completed in July 2023. The building has a history of various maintenance and improvement projects, including the installation of an EV charging circuit in 2011, water heater installation in 2013, and multiple plumbing upgrades.

The property has undergone several routine inspections and has been subject to various housing and fire safety compliance requirements. Historical fire safety issues have been noted, including blocked exits and overcrowding concerns during the 2005-2009 period, though these were all marked as corrected. More recent concerns include an active complaint from 2021 regarding a car crash and emergency response issues, and a complaint from December 2021 about early morning noise from a bakery operation. The building's regulatory history includes a variance approval process to legalize two additional dwelling units that were constructed without proper permits, and various completed violations related to fire safety and electrical hazards from 2006-2008. Recent 311 calls from 2024 suggest ongoing issues with noise, waste management, and public health concerns, though many of these cases are in various stages of resolution.

Risk rating

How 3241-3249 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 573 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
