Rent & eviction protection

Is 370-376 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.

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.

Built 1906
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 three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 370-376 Frederick Street, built in 1906, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, in early 2024, the building received comprehensive electrical upgrades with the installation of new sub panels for all units, following a December 2023 permit for five new sub panels and conduit installation. The property has maintained its infrastructure through various upgrades, including the replacement of gas wall heaters in units 372 and 374 in February 2020 and a major reroofing project completed in 2013 at a cost of $12,750.

The building's history includes several earlier maintenance and safety issues that have since been addressed. A 2019 complaint about insufficient heat was resolved by September 2021, along with multiple violations from 2007-2003 concerning fire safety, security, and sanitation. These included requirements for fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and solid core doors, as well as addressing rodent infestation and lead paint hazards. While no active violations remain, the building has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris disposal, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022-2025, though these primarily relate to street and sidewalk areas rather than the building itself. The property's maintenance record shows a consistent pattern of addressing infrastructure needs, with particular attention to heating systems, electrical upgrades, and fire safety over its history.

Risk rating

How 370-376 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
50thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 263 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
