Rent & eviction protection

Is 3745 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 1924

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.

Built 1924
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 3745 Anza Street property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1924 and currently owned by Gleyzer Pavel, this apartment building has undergone several maintenance and safety updates over the years. Most recently, a furnace replacement was completed in November 2024, maintaining compliance with current standards. The building experienced a significant cluster of violations in July 2002, primarily related to fire safety issues including problems with fire proofing, smoke detectors, combustible storage, and fire extinguisher maintenance, along with building-related issues regarding stairs and damaged walls. However, all these violations were promptly addressed and officially abated by September 16, 2002. The building has also received several routine inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2011.

Recent maintenance history includes a reroofing project completed in 2011 at a cost of $13,800. The property has experienced multiple parking-related issues in the vicinity, with seven documented citations for driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, showing an ongoing challenge with parking enforcement in the area. There was one incident of sewer issues reported in January 2023 involving a 4-inch sewer vent backup, which was subsequently resolved. The building's historical records from 1987 show the installation of electrical smoke detectors, indicating an early commitment to safety measures. While the property has had its share of maintenance and compliance issues over the years, the records show that violations have generally been addressed promptly, with major upgrades such as the recent furnace replacement and roof work demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts.

Risk rating

How 3745 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.
