Rent & eviction protection

Is 4326-4328 Fulton 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 1923

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 1923
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 4326-4328 Fulton Street property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, built in 1923 and currently owned by Gerald K. Saroyan. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with the most recent being a complete re-roofing project completed in September 2024 at a cost of $16,500. Historical records show the property has received regular attention to structural and safety concerns, including a back firewall repair with new fire brick in 1997, dry rot repairs at the rear staircase in 1991, and multiple historical roof replacements. Notably, there was a cluster of fire safety violations in September 2001 related to fire proofing and sprinklers over garbage receptacles, but these were promptly addressed and abated by November 2001.

The building's maintenance history also reveals earlier issues that have been resolved, including termite damage repairs in 1988 and kitchen renovations in 1989. While the property itself has shown consistent upkeep, the surrounding area has experienced various maintenance and safety incidents, including recent graffiti incidents in 2023, multiple illegal parking issues in 2021-2022, and recent street cleaning requests. The property management has generally responded promptly to violations and maintenance needs, as evidenced by the timely resolution of the 2001 fire safety concerns and regular maintenance schedules. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing attention to property upkeep, though most recent issues have been related to exterior factors rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 4326-4328 Fulton 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.
