Rent & eviction protection

Is 3003-3009 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 1922

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 1922
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-story, four-unit apartment building at 3003-3009 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1922 and is currently owned by Tran Hung Sang. The property has undergone several notable improvements in recent years, most significantly the installation of three separate solar panel systems between March and December 2021, each comprising 10 PV modules (270 watts each) for a total system rating of 2.7 kW. Of particular concern is a reported illegal unit construction on the bottom floor from September 2015, which was filed through Housing Inspection Services, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The building had a series of fire safety violations in June 2002, including issues related to combustible storage, garbage receptacle sprinklers, and gas utility shutoff tools, all of which were resolved by August 2002. During this period, a routine housing inspection also identified sanitation concerns that were subsequently addressed. More recently, there have been multiple incident reports related to street maintenance and urban management around the property, with the most significant being a report of sidewalk damage from tree roots (filed in May 2024 and currently open). The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning, evidenced by multiple 311 calls for garbage and debris removal between 2023-2025, though most of these cases have been resolved. A smoke-related incident was recorded at the property, though no civilian injuries were reported and no specific date was provided in the records. There have been several parking-related issues in the vicinity, including emergency citations for blocked driveways in 2023 and 2025.

Risk rating

How 3003-3009 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
26thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1665 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
