Rent & eviction protection

Is 3131 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 1928
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1928
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-unit multi-family residential building at 3131 Scott Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Liana G Figone Separate Prp, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1928. The property has received consistent maintenance attention, including a complete reroofing in 2001 ($9,635), installation of exterior vinyl siding in 2005 ($15,215), and a street space permit in 2007. Recent fire department records show three incidents between 2017 and 2020, all of which were non-threatening situations including smoke/odor removal, a lock-out, and an overheated motor, with no civilian injuries reported in any case.

The building's surrounding area has experienced various street-related challenges, particularly in the past five years. There have been multiple documented incidents of waste and sanitation concerns on public streets, with the most recent being a general cleaning complaint in June 2023, and previous incidents involving human/animal waste in April and August 2020, all of which were resolved. An encampment removal occurred in October 2020, and a tree maintenance issue was reported in September 2017, though the specific tree in question could not be located as most had been removed. While these external challenges have been consistently addressed by city services, it's important to note that they pertain to the public street environment rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3131 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
60thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 344 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
