Rent & eviction protection

Is 3575 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 two-unit residential building at 3575 Sacramento Street in the Presidio Heights neighborhood, owned by Rosenberg Family Fund Lp, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair works over the years, including a complete reroofing in both 1995 and 2008, window replacements in 1991, and various door and deck repairs between 2009 and 2012. A notable incident occurred in November 2020 when a vehicle collided with the building, causing moderate damage to the front wall and doors, though no occupants were displaced. This incident prompted the issuance of a Notice of Violation, which was abated by April 2021 following repairs to the storefront doors and entry area costing $5,000.

The building's recent maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including electrical upgrades in 2004 (though this permit was cancelled), and various 311 calls primarily related to parking meters and sidewalk issues. Between 2015 and 2023, there have been multiple reports of damaged parking meters in the vicinity, which were consistently resolved. The property has maintained compliance with building codes, with no active violations, and has undergone appropriate repairs following documented incidents. Two planning applications for establishing a small Japanese full-service restaurant at the address were submitted but ultimately withdrawn or closed. The only recorded fire incident was a water or steam leak with no civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 3575 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
67thpercentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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