Outer Sunset, SF 94122 1809001 3 units · 1 fl · 1941

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 3901-3915 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 1941
2 or more units

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

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 1941
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 3901-3915 Judah Street is a one-story multi-family residential building in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1941 and containing three units. The building underwent significant renovations in 2004, including the addition of a food service facility with kitchen prep area and accessible ground floor restroom, with associated electrical work completed in October 2004. These improvements followed earlier electrical and utility upgrades in 2003, including the installation of separate meters for commercial and residential use, and replacement of electrical panels. There were some regulatory compliance issues during this period, with complaints recorded in 2004 regarding unpermitted construction work, and in 2003 concerning unauthorized plumbing modifications and conversion of two storefronts into office space, though these were promptly addressed.

More recently, between 2023-2024, there have been several maintenance and infrastructure concerns near the property, including an open case regarding tree root damage to sewer infrastructure (July 2024), a curb defect (June 2024), and multiple parking enforcement issues. There are also recent sanitation concerns, with three garbage-related complaints recorded in late 2024. The property has experienced minimal major violations or safety issues, though the presence of repeated parking enforcement needs and various street maintenance requirements suggests ongoing challenges with the surrounding public infrastructure. The most recent significant building work on record remains the 2004 renovations, and there have been no major building code violations or safety incidents reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 3901-3915 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
22ndpercentile
