Outer Parkside, SF 94116 2169001 4 units · 3 fl · 1954

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 3907-3911 Quintara 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 1954

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 1954
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 three-story, four-unit apartment building at 3907-3911 Quintara Street in the Outer Parkside neighborhood was built in 1954 and is currently owned by 3907 Quintara LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most recently completing a $32,400 window replacement project in November 2023 that involved installing 17 new fiberglass windows on street-facing facades. The building has maintained an active record of window upgrades, including earlier installations in 1988 (aluminum windows) and 1999 (replacement windows in unit #203). Several tenant buyouts have occurred at the property, with the most recent in February 2016 involving two tenants receiving $36,000 and one tenant receiving $35,000.

The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related issues over the years, with the most recent violation in December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, which remains open. Other notable fire safety concerns included problems with blocked exits (2016, condition corrected), alarm systems (2019, condition corrected), and sprinkler/standpipe systems (2020, no merit). The property underwent two routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2002, with the latter inspection revealing multiple violations including combustible materials in the garage and security door issues, all of which were abated by June 2002. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including reroofing work in 1995, though some permits for earlier improvements (1988 aluminum window installations and 1999 window replacement) are listed as expired. While the property has had several parking-related complaints in the surrounding area (2024), the majority of maintenance and safety issues have been addressed through proper channels, with most violations being corrected in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 3907-3911 Quintara 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
10thpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 186 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Number of units

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
