Rent & eviction protection

Is 3526-3528 Washington 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 1908
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 1908
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 five-story multi-family residential building at 3526-3528 Washington Street, owned by Donald & Martha Missirlian, is a 1908 flats/duplex structure containing two units. The property has undergone numerous renovations and compliance updates over the years, with the most recent work completed in September 2023 involving a gas houseline extension. There was a significant focus on safety compliance in 2014, with multiple permits issued to address concerns from physical inspection report #CC5376, including electrical work in common areas and plumbing updates. The building has experienced several notable incidents, including three smoke detector activations and two CO detector activations between 2008 and 2024, though none resulted in any injuries or confirmed hazards.

The property has a history of various improvements and inspections, including substantial electrical upgrades with a 400-amp underground service installed in 2012, and multiple plumbing enhancements including outdoor BBQ gas lines and infrastructure for an outdoor kitchen in 2013. Several building complaints were filed between 2001 and 2007 regarding unauthorized work and construction practices, though these issues were promptly addressed. The building underwent a condo conversion process, with records indicating this status as closed. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as parking violations and street maintenance rather than building-specific concerns. The maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of systems, with window retrofits completed in 2021 and various routine inspections and corrections addressed through appropriate permits.

Risk rating

How 3526-3528 Washington 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
48thpercentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
