Rent & eviction protection

Is 3250 Irving 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 1956

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.

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 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3250 Irving Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Richard & Elizabeth Marchas, has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably a seismic retrofit completed in 2019 as part of the city-mandated soft story program (Tier 3), which included a significant investment of $85,000. The building experienced several maintenance and safety issues in the early 2000s, including multiple violations in 2002 related to mold, damaged paint, and light fixtures, particularly affecting apartment #2, as well as concerns about wood stairs and a bathroom ceiling. These violations were addressed and abated by April 2002. A subsequent complaint in 2003 highlighted hazardous wood stairs and a hole around the mailbox opening, though this was marked as not active by August 2003. The building also underwent reroofing work in 1997, though that permit has since expired.

In recent years, the property has shown some ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to graffiti on AT&T property, sidewalk parking violations, and garbage issues. A routine housing inspection was filed in 2009 and is currently listed as active, though no specific violations are recorded in the recent data. The building's infrastructure and safety systems received attention through the completed seismic retrofit, which brought the property into compliance with current building codes and improved its structural resilience. The most recent permitted work was focused on street space improvements in 2018, with no major structural or systems upgrades reported since the seismic retrofit.

Risk rating

How 3250 Irving 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.
