Rent & eviction protection

Is 366-368 Arguello Blvd 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 1917

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 1917
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 366-368 Arguello Boulevard is a 2-story multi-family residential building containing 3 units, constructed in 1917 and currently owned by Craig L. Foster. Over the years, the building has undergone several significant improvements, with the most recent major work being a roofing project completed in 2015 at a cost of $8,500. In 2007, the property received a substantial window upgrade with the installation of 18 double-pane wood-clad Marvin windows valued at $32,518, and in 2011, two new furnaces were installed with proper venting. Earlier renovations included bathroom updates in 2005 ($30,000), electrical work, and multiple roofing projects, with records showing roofing work in 1990, 1996, and 2015, indicating regular maintenance of this critical building component.

The property has had its share of routine urban issues, particularly related to parking concerns, with multiple 311 calls between 2019-2024 regarding blocked driveways and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity. A tree maintenance issue was reported in 2020, and there was one cleaning complaint in 2020. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to major systems, with plumbing, electrical, and roofing work all properly permitted and completed. A recent planning record (2019) shows a small proposed rear yard addition project that required a variance, though the current status is marked as "Closed - Informational." The property has no current tenant buyouts on record, and all major repairs and improvements appear to have been properly documented through appropriate permits.

Risk rating

How 366-368 Arguello Blvd'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
44thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 152 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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio
