Rent & eviction protection

Is 3126-3128 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 1977
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 1977
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3126-3128 Geary Boulevard, owned by the Luis & Grace So 2007 Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1977 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in May 2024, the building received a $34,500 complete reroofing project, marking its latest investment in building maintenance. The property completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016-2017, which included $108,000 in upgrades to improve structural safety, with all work now classified as complete with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Other notable maintenance work includes a sewer repair in 2011 and a previous roofing project in 2009 costing $4,000.

The building's history includes one set of building violations from May 2004 that were promptly addressed within two weeks, related to fire safety concerns including smoke detectors and combustible materials storage in the garage. Routine housing inspections have been conducted regularly, with all previous violations and complaints being marked as not active or resolved. The property has experienced typical urban issues in its vicinity, as evidenced by 311 calls between 2019-2023, including reports of sidewalk damage, tree root uplift, graffiti, and occasional encampment issues in the surrounding area, though these external matters have generally been addressed promptly by city services. A planning record from 1996 indicates prior consideration for commercial use (store) in addition to the residential units, though the current use remains primarily multi-family residential with no recent commercial activity noted.

Risk rating

How 3126-3128 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
48thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 141 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
