Rent & eviction protection

Is 3429-3433 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 1902
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 1902
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 3429-3433 Sacramento Street is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, located in Presidio Heights. Built in 1902 and currently owned by Trust B, this building has undergone several significant improvements in 2024, including a substantial kitchen and bath remodel in Unit 2, installation of new utilities (furnace, water heater, and electrical upgrades), and ongoing roof replacement work. The building's infrastructure received attention with a completed cast iron pipe installation for the gutter drain (October 2024) and improvements to the underground electrical service (200 amps for 5 meters, including 3 residential units and commercial space) completed in 2011.

Historical records show maintenance challenges in the early 2000s, with violations related to fire safety, fire escape maintenance, and stair repairs being addressed and abated by July 2003. The building experienced several maintenance issues requiring prompt attention in 1999, including emergency dry rot repairs and shoring work. Recent concerns were documented in mid-2024 regarding gutter drainage issues affecting the adjacent property, which was subsequently addressed through the installation of new drainage infrastructure. The building has a history of responding to various alarm system activations (mostly unintentional) and routine fire safety checks, though no significant fire incidents or civilian injuries have been recorded. Recent maintenance activity suggests ongoing improvements to the building's systems and infrastructure, with multiple permits issued and completed for various upgrade projects throughout 2024.

Risk rating

How 3429-3433 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
19thpercentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 147 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

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