Rent & eviction protection

Is 3130 Taraval 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 1958
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM1
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 1958
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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3130 Taraval Street, constructed in 1958 and currently owned by 3130 Taraval LLC, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement works over the past two decades. In 2008, the building required sewer repairs including a house trap replacement, and in 2006, substantial electrical upgrades were made with the installation of a 200-amp pull box and replacement of a 7-fuse box system. Two routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2003 identified safety issues that were promptly addressed and abated: broken window panes and missing fire extinguishers in public areas, though these violations are now listed as not active.

Recent history shows ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly with sewer systems, as evidenced by multiple sewer backup incidents reported between 2016 and 2021. The most recent infrastructure-related issues include a tree maintenance notification from September 2023 and a graffiti report in February 2023. The property has experienced recurring maintenance needs in its vicinity, with several 311 calls regarding street and sidewalk cleaning, graffiti removal, and infrastructure maintenance between 2015 and 2023, though these issues were typically resolved promptly through city services. While the building's documented violations and complaints have all been resolved, the frequency of sewer-related issues (four separate incidents reported between 2016-2021) suggests this remains an area requiring continued attention, despite being categorized as "Closed Case Resolved."

Risk rating

How 3130 Taraval 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
