Rent & eviction protection

Is 3331-3333 Cabrillo 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 1915

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 1915
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 3331-3333 Cabrillo Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1915 in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. The building has experienced significant recent activity, most notably a serious fire incident in 2018 that required extensive repairs and renovations. The fire damage was substantial enough to necessitate a $125,000 renovation project in April 2021, which included installing new furnaces, water heaters, electrical panels, and plumbing lines for both units, along with bathroom and bedroom modifications. The building underwent comprehensive system upgrades in 2021-2023, including new electrical systems with subpanels, rewiring, and plumbing improvements including new drain sewer pipes, kitchen installations, and HVAC systems.

The property has been in various stages of renovation and repair, with some permits being withdrawn or expired during the process, including a proposed January 2020 plan to modify both units' bathrooms and kitchens. Most recently, in September 2023, there was a complaint regarding the prolonged construction period, temporary fencing, and outdoor facilities, though this complaint is marked as not active. A sewer backup incident was reported and resolved in November 2024, representing the most recent infrastructure-related issue. The building's renovation history indicates significant investment in restoring and upgrading the property, particularly following the 2018 fire, with many permits having reached completion status by 2023, though some permits from 2021 remain in expired status without documented completion. The property underwent window and siding modifications, with specific attention to maintaining historical features such as wooden windows with Ogee lugs and cedar shingle siding.

Risk rating

How 3331-3333 Cabrillo 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
39thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 634 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
