Rent & eviction protection

Is 3436-3438 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.

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 1919
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 3436-3438 Anza Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1919, currently owned by Albert C Kwok and Betty B Wu. The building underwent significant transformations between 2008 and 2019, most notably a comprehensive conversion from a single-family dwelling to a two-unit residential building in 2008-2010, which included vertical and horizontal additions, installation of a complete NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system, and extensive plumbing upgrades including remodeling of 6 bathrooms and 2 kitchens. The electrical system was also upgraded with a new 200-amp service and three-meter installation in 2010. More recently, in 2019, the property underwent further modifications to convert existing storage and common areas into living spaces, including a home office, living room, and kitchen, as part of an additional dwelling unit conversion project.

The building's maintenance and incident history shows regular upkeep, with only a few notable issues: a sewage backup incident in November 2021 that was promptly resolved, and some historical sidewalk and street cleaning matters in the surrounding area. The property has maintained compliance with safety requirements, most importantly through the comprehensive fire safety upgrades implemented in 2010. Recent exterior maintenance issues primarily involve street cleaning and sidewalk conditions, which have been addressed through normal municipal channels. The most current building modifications, as of 2019, suggest ongoing improvements to optimize the building's living spaces while maintaining its historical character.

Risk rating

How 3436-3438 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
57thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 968 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
