Rent & eviction protection

Is 3143-3149 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 1919

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 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 3143-3149 Anza Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1919 and currently owned by Baron 23 & Anza Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. Most notably, in late 2015, the property faced multiple violations including mold, damaged ceilings, inadequate ventilation, and egress obstructions, which required substantial remedial work including the removal of egress obstruction, covering vent pipes, painting, mold elimination, and bathroom ceiling repairs. The building has undergone several important structural improvements, including a comprehensive garage-level structural strengthening in 2009 costing nearly $40,000, and foundation bolting in 2004. Earlier renovations included a kitchen remodel in 2014, bathroom fixture updates, and various electrical upgrades including the installation of smoke alarms.

Recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, with a 2018 electrical issue complaint and a 2017 complaint about a problematic front door affecting emergency access. The building has also undergone several routine inspections, and there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking enforcement issues near the property between 2020-2024. The most recent building-related activity is from October 2023, with an electrical permit issued for a PG&E inspection. While many historical problems have been addressed through permits and repairs, the pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding electrical systems, structural elements, and ventilation. The property has a mix of completed improvements and historical challenges that prospective tenants should consider, particularly regarding the building's age and maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 3143-3149 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.
