Rent & eviction protection

Is 3300-3304 Geary 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 before 1979
Built 1909
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 1909
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 3300-3304 Geary Blvd, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, is a 1909 two-story multi-family residential building with three units, plus a commercial space, currently owned by the Kwong Family Trust. The building has experienced significant challenges in recent years, most notably suffering major fire damage in February 2019 that affected all levels, destroyed the roof, and caused extensive structural damage. Following the fire, several permits were filed to address repairs, including attempts to reconstruct the restaurant and residential units (202111031737) and fire repairs (201902283996), though some of these permits were withdrawn or have remained incomplete. The property has been in a state of concern regarding vacancy and blight since 2020, with multiple complaints filed about the vacant storefront and deteriorating condition of the building, including an active complaint from December 2023 regarding incomplete permits and damaged walls.

The building's maintenance history includes various renovation efforts prior to the fire, such as bathroom and kitchen remodels, window replacements, ADA compliance upgrades, and roofing work completed in 2015. There was a period of electrical work performed without permits in 2011, which resulted in violation notices that were later abated. More recently, there have been ongoing issues with graffiti, sidewalk defects, and debris around the property, with multiple 311 calls logged in 2024. A major development proposal for the site was submitted and is currently under review, seeking to merge three parcels and construct a new 7-story mixed-use building with 62 residential units and commercial space, though this appears to be separate from the current building's status.

Risk rating

How 3300-3304 Geary 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
2ndpercentile
