Rent & eviction protection

Is 3060-3062 California 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 3060-3062 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by William & Betty J Bowser Fm, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1900. Most notably, there has been recent activity related to safety concerns, with a building violation filed in February 2022 regarding unauthorized work on rear stairs, which prompted subsequent permitted repairs in 2022 and 2023 costing up to $45,000 to bring the structure into compliance. The building has seen substantial upgrades in recent years, including the installation of a new furnace system in 2023, air duct modifications in 2022, and electrical improvements related to the heating system. Historical records show the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, including a minor fire incident in 2003 that required electrical repairs and general maintenance work, and the structure was reroofed in both 2017 and 1991.

The property has had periodic maintenance and upgrade work throughout its history, including structural repairs and modernization efforts. Earlier improvements include room restoration work in 2003 and step replacement with terrazzo and handrail installation in 1985. The building's maintenance record shows responsiveness to both regulatory requirements and internal improvements, with most recent work focusing on safety compliance and system upgrades. Recent exterior issues were documented in 2020 with multiple instances of graffiti, though these were promptly addressed. All current violations regarding the rear stairs have been marked as abated as of January 2024, indicating resolution of the most recent compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 3060-3062 California 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
97thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 29 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
