Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3224 Judah 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 1960
2 or more units
8 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1960
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 two-story, 8-unit apartment building at 3224 Judah Street in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1960 and owned by the Dorothy T Pariani Survivors, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a seismic retrofit in 2017 as part of the mandatory San Francisco wood frame seismic retrofit program, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. Recent upgrades in 2023 included the replacement of federal Pacific electrical equipment with new Siemens subpanels throughout the building, representing an important modernization of the building's electrical infrastructure.

The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement works, including bathroom repairs in Unit #3 (2018), installation of a new furnace (2013), and replacing a life-safety fire alarm system (2016). The building maintenance record shows attention to safety and infrastructure improvements, with plumbing upgrades such as bathroom remodeling and new fixtures in 2018. Historical records reveal some concerning conditions from 2013, including complaints about 70-year-old carpeting, mold issues, and various maintenance concerns, though these complaints are no longer active. The building has experienced routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2011, with no indications of persistent issues from those inspections. The property has required periodic exterior maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for graffiti removal and street cleaning between 2018 and 2022, though these appear to be typical urban maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 3224 Judah 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
18thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 518 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
