Cow Hollow, SF 94123 0937019 12 units · 3 fl · 1925

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3146 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 1925
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 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

This 12-unit multi-family residential building located at 3146 Divisadero Street in Cow Hollow has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over recent years, with the most current project being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade initiated in June 2024 to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements, valued at $23,389. The property has seen substantial modernization efforts, including the planned conversion of ground-level garages and storage into three ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) as per ADU Ordinance #162-16, with the application currently under review. In 2023, the building received new laundry facilities installation and associated infrastructure improvements, including water lines and electrical work for washer and dryer connections, while 2022 was marked by extensive renovations across multiple units, with kitchen and bathroom remodels completed in Units 101, 201, 202, 204, 301, 302, and 304, each with a budget of $40,000.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety systems, with a notable focus on fire safety as evidenced by three fire-related complaints between 2011 and 2024, all of which were promptly addressed and corrected. The property completed its soft-story seismic retrofit requirements (Tier 4) and received its Certificate of Final Completion. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 show typical urban maintenance issues such as graffiti and street cleaning needs, with some ongoing matters including an open graffiti case and an encampment situation. While the building has undergone multiple routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2009, no major violations or persistent issues have been documented. The property owners have demonstrated proactive management through regular maintenance, timely response to building codes, and modernization efforts to improve resident quality of life, particularly through recent laundry facility installation and comprehensive unit renovations.

Risk rating

How 3146 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
24thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 654 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
