Rent & eviction protection

Is 3133-3135 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 1921

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 1921
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 3133-3135 Anza Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Pak Ping & Tsui Chun Yeung. The central Richmond duplex underwent significant modifications in 2008-2009, following multiple building violations and complaints regarding unpermitted alterations. These issues were primarily centered around unauthorized construction of an illegal unit in the garage area, including an unpermitted bathroom and kitchen, which were addressed through a series of permits and corrections totaling approximately $30,000 in improvements. The resolution involved removing an unauthorized ground floor bathroom and converting the space to storage, while properly adding a bathroom to the third floor of unit 3135. Plumbing and electrical work was completed simultaneously to bring the building into compliance with safety standards.

More recently, there has been an active complaint from May 2020 regarding a possible third unpermitted unit at the property, with reports of smoke impacts on adjacent properties. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning issues from 2008-2009, including violations related to damaged walls and stairs requiring repair. Since then, the only significant concerns have been parking-related issues, with multiple complaints about sidewalk parking between 2018 and 2021. While these parking violations are relatively common in the area, they do not directly impact the building's structural integrity or safety. The property's most recent documented building permits were from 2009, and there have been no major building code violations or complaints recorded in the past decade, suggesting improved regulatory compliance since the 2008-2009 period.

Risk rating

How 3133-3135 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1732 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
