Rent & eviction protection

Is 3120-3122 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 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 property at 3120-3122 Geary Boulevard, owned by Kim Young Sook, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced various compliance issues over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2015, there were substantial accessibility improvements proposed, including the installation of a wheelchair lift and conversion of a bathroom to an accessible restroom, along with the installation of an NFPA 13 automatic sprinkler system throughout the building, though this permit's final status remains as "Filed." In 2017, there was a building violation regarding an unpermitted rear structure approximately 22 feet wide, which was abated within two months. Several maintenance issues have been documented in recent years, including collapsed sidewalk conditions reported in March 2022 (currently open) and various general maintenance requests to Public Works.

The property's historical records indicate some concerning patterns, including a complaint in 2012 about apartments being rented as a tourist hotel, and another complaint in 2017 regarding unpermitted construction work in dangerous conditions in the rear building. Infrastructure maintenance has been attended to, with records showing sewer repairs completed in 2012, electrical modifications in 2017, and historical documents indicating reroofing work in 2003. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned public infrastructure issues such as graffiti (October 2023), sidewalk defects (March 2022), and other public space maintenance matters, rather than building-specific problems. The property has also been subject to various planning inquiries regarding the potential legalization of a guest house and conversion of storage space to office use, though these proposals appear to have been closed without completion.

Risk rating

How 3120-3122 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
53rdpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 128 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

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

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

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
