Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3225-3227 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

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.

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 three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 3225-3227 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Diane Leung Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant structural improvements over the past few decades. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with the exterior rear stairs, with repairs required in both 1998 (due to dry rot damage) and 2008 (other unspecified damage). The building has seen multiple infrastructure upgrades, including a horizontal addition completed in 1998, conversion of office space to retail in 1995, installation of aluminum windows in 1985, and most recently, street space permits issued in 2017. A significant plumbing upgrade occurred in 2008 with the replacement of waste and vent systems on the building's exterior.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges typical of its age and urban location, as evidenced by several 311 calls. These have included street cleaning issues (most recently in July 2023), multiple instances of graffiti (2022 and 2016), a pavement defect investigation in 2017 that found no conditions requiring attention, and an overgrown tree issue in 2012 that was addressed by 2014. While the building's maintenance record shows attention to essential repairs and upgrades, particularly regarding structural components and plumbing systems, the frequency of exterior maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building surroundings and infrastructure that are typical for a property of this age and type.

Risk rating

How 3225-3227 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
53rdpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 453 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
