Rent & eviction protection

Is 358-360 Frederick St 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 1912
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 1912
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 358-360 Frederick Street multi-family residential building, constructed in 1912 and managed by Frederick Street LLC, is a 3-story, 12-unit apartment complex located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, including the complete replacement of 52 street-facing windows with wood aluminum double-hung windows completed in early 2024 at a cost of $80,000. In early 2024, there were multiple concerning reports about window safety and structure, followed by a significant complaint regarding extensive mold presence in one unit. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program in 2013 (Tier 3), demonstrating seismic safety improvements.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly concerning fire safety equipment and building systems. Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 revealed issues with extinguishers and exit maintenance, though these were promptly corrected. A 2024 housing inspection identified multiple violations related to fire proofing, electrical systems, combustible storage, lighting, and various compliance affidavit requirements, most of which were resolved by mid-2024. Historical records show earlier maintenance challenges, including stair repairs and self-closing door device issues in 2001. The building's electrical systems have received some upgrades, including new lighting for rear service stairs in early 2024. While recent improvements suggest ongoing maintenance efforts, the pattern of recurring safety inspections and violations indicates a building requiring careful monitoring of its systems and infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 358-360 Frederick St'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 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 526 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
