Rent & eviction protection

Is 3009 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 1904
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1904
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 3009 Sacramento St is a 2-story multi-family residential building with three units, located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood and built in 1904. The main building underwent several significant renovations in 2016, including major kitchen and bathroom remodels in units #1 (lower floor) and #3 (top floor), with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $68,000. The rear carriage house structure was formally recognized as a one-story single-family dwelling in 2019, following its previous use as an illegal studio unit conversion, and recent maintenance included skylight replacement in 2024. The property has experienced several maintenance issues, including water damage repairs in the garage (2019), rear deck and stairs repairs (2020), and a fresh air inlet issue that was promptly addressed in April 2019. Multiple unit-related improvements have been made, such as plumbing upgrades including tankless water heater installation (2021) and various kitchen and bathroom renovations across different units.

The building has a history of unauthorized modifications and illegal uses, particularly regarding the rear structure, with multiple complaints filed between 2006-2007 about suspected unauthorized occupancy and kitchen installation, though these issues were ultimately resolved through the 2019 legalization process. More recent building permits and maintenance records suggest active management and upkeep of the property, with no unresolved building violations or active complaints on record since 2019. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and tree maintenance, which have been resolved through appropriate channels. Recent improvements focus on maintaining building systems and addressing weather-related issues, such as the 2024 skylight replacement project and previous water damage repairs.

Risk rating

How 3009 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 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 39 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

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
