Rent & eviction protection

Is 3210-3240 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 1964
2 or more units
31 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 1964
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 31-unit apartment building at 3216-3240 Geary Blvd, owned by Gene & Angela Lam 2003 Mari, was constructed in 1964 as a three-story multi-family residential property and has undergone numerous significant improvements and faced several challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2024, the building has seen substantial electrical upgrades, including the replacement of interior house panels and apartment subpanels, along with re-roofing work completed at a cost of $58,280. The property has focused on accessibility improvements, with the installation of an exterior lift in 2023 under the Accessible Business Entrance program, though earlier attempts to implement this feature had to be revised or withdrawn.

The building's history reveals attention to safety updates, particularly in 2021, when low-frequency sounders were installed in compliance with fire safety regulations, and the fire alarm control panel was replaced. Recent complaints from 2023-2024 have primarily centered around the on-site Prik Hom restaurant, with issues reported regarding unauthorized fan installation, noise, and ventilation concerns that required multiple permits and emergency repairs to resolve. The building has completed its soft-story retrofit requirements under Tier 2, achieving compliance with current seismic safety standards. Historical violations from 2001, including egress obstructions and fire extinguisher issues, were addressed and closed. Various plumbing improvements have been made over the years, including water heater and boiler replacements, and the building's infrastructure has received ongoing maintenance attention through regular permit applications.

Risk rating

How 3210-3240 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
0thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 272 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
