Rent & eviction protection

Is 3145-3147 Jackson 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 1904

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 1904
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 property at 3145-3147 Jackson Street is a two-unit residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Seal Rock Capital LLC. The building has undergone significant renovation work, with the most substantial project occurring in 2018 when permits were issued for major improvements including the excavation of a new garage and basement, replacement of front masonry stairs, window modifications, and the addition of new decks and a penthouse, with an estimated cost of $1,200,000. This project required approximately 15 feet of excavation and the removal of about 2,000 cubic yards of soil. Temporary shoring permits related to this work were filed in July 2024, indicating ongoing structural modifications.

The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues, particularly in 2015 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized plumbing, electrical, and general construction work on the property. These issues were subsequently addressed, and proper permits were obtained in March 2015 for bathroom renovations, including plumbing and electrical work. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including bathroom repairs in 2015 and older records of roofing work in 1993 and bathroom fixture replacements in 1995. More recent infrastructure concerns include sidewalk defects and a damaged side sewer vent cover reported in 2022, and a sidewalk defect related to tree roots reported in December 2024. A fire incident was recorded with no civilian injuries, though the exact date and circumstances were not specified in the records. The building's planned improvements, once completed, will increase its size from approximately 6,642 to 10,645 square feet and add three off-street parking spaces, significantly enhancing its residential amenities.

Risk rating

How 3145-3147 Jackson 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
87thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 125 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio
