Rent & eviction protection

Is 353 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 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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 two-unit residential building at 353 Frederick Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by Craig Michael. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive bathroom remodeling project completed in late 2022 (costing $44,000) that included updates to both the main and half bathrooms with new fixtures, lighting, and fan installations, along with some interior reconfiguration. More recent work includes a substantial reroofing project initiated in July 2023 with an estimated cost of $30,000, representing the building's first roof replacement in several decades. Additional improvements include the installation of a direct vent gas fireplace in 2016.

The building's maintenance and incident record reveals several resolved issues over recent years, with a concentration of reports between 2021 and 2024. The property has experienced some neighborhood challenges, particularly related to garbage and debris on the street, with multiple Recology reports recorded in 2023-2024. There have also been two incidents of fallen trees reported in 2024 and 2023, though these were related to street conditions rather than the building itself. Other reports include instances of graffiti (March 2024), a defaced street cleaning sign (November 2022), and several street cleaning calls in 2021-2022, most of which were resolved. The building's permit and improvement history suggests active maintenance and upgrading by the current owner, with particular attention to bathroom modernization and roof maintenance as primary focus areas in recent years.

Risk rating

How 353 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
97thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 16 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
