Rent & eviction protection

Is 4340 Anza 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 1927
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.

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, 9-unit apartment building at 4340 Anza Street in the Outer Richmond, owned by Nicholas M & Vicky S Vrihea, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its construction in 1927. Most recently, in late 2024, repairs were made to the rear stairs including painting and lighting improvements, along with the installation of smoke detectors. The building has addressed several important safety requirements, including a completed fire alarm system upgrade in October 2024 to meet current fire code requirements, and previous stucco repairs in 2023 which addressed both cosmetic issues and potential dry rot concerns.

The property has a documented history of fire safety violations, with multiple citations for issues related to fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and fire escape maintenance between 2017 and 2024. Recent complaints from October 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with exterior stairs, including loose floorboards and problems with fire escape landings. The building has completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit program requirements as a Tier 3 building, though there were previous compliance issues noted in 2021. Historical maintenance work includes foundation work in 1992 and various repairs throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, including a street space permit and garage modifications. The building's recent history shows attention to compliance with safety codes, though issues with exterior maintenance and safety systems appear to persist.

Risk rating

How 4340 Anza 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
1stpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 1030 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
