Rent & eviction protection

Is 3708-3710 Sacramento 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 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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 3708-3710 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights is a two-unit, two-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 3708 Sacramento Street LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced some regulatory challenges over the past decade. Most notably, from 2012 through 2019, there was an extended enforcement process regarding unauthorized deck and roof deck work, which began with a complaint in June 2012 about unpermitted deck extension and roof deck installation. This led to multiple Notices of Violation and eventually required compliance work in 2019 to remove unauthorized platform and extension stairs, costing $1,000. During this period, the property also underwent legitimate improvements, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2017 ($50,000), deck reconstruction in 2019 ($40,000), and sewer replacement in 2014.

More recent activity includes various maintenance and improvement projects, with the most recent building permit from 2019 showing work on the deck, fence, wall, and service entrance stairs. There has been one notable resident complaint in 2022 regarding construction noise on a Sunday morning, though this was resolved promptly. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with multiple 311 calls between 2021-2023 primarily related to street cleaning and graffiti, though these are external to the building itself. Two false fire alarms were recorded but resulted in no injuries. The building's permit history and violation resolution process demonstrate an eventual compliance with building codes, though there was a significant initial period of unauthorized modifications that required rectification.

Risk rating

How 3708-3710 Sacramento 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
96thpercentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
