Rent & eviction protection

Is 4345-4349 California 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 1909
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 1909
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 4345-4347 California Street is a three-story mixed-use building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1909 and containing 4 residential units owned by Sebastian F Colabianchi Fml. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and accessibility improvements over the years. Most recently, in June 2023, work commenced on a $15,000 project to improve accessibility at the main entry step with a curb ramp and level landing, continuing the property's commitment to accessibility upgrades after previously addressing ADA compliance with a new entrance aluminum door. The building had a notable period of maintenance issues in 2016, when multiple violations were documented in May, including problems with weatherproofing, lead paint hazards, heating deficiencies, and fire safety equipment, all related to a leak under the kitchen sink that caused water damage and mold. However, all these violations were addressed and abated by August 2016. Additional improvements since then include the replacement of a floor furnace in 2016 and reroofing work completed in 2003.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of normal neighborhood maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning, abandoned vehicles, and parking enforcement. These cases involved issues outside the building itself, such as nearby sidewalk cleanliness and curb maintenance. A fire safety complaint about blocked exits was filed in December 2015 but was found to have "no merit" in January 2016. The current state of building permits and recent maintenance history suggests that while the property experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2016, these issues were promptly addressed and no major violations or complaints have been recorded in recent years, with the focus now shifting to accessibility improvements.

Risk rating

How 4345-4349 California 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
40thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1034 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
