Rent & eviction protection

Is 3416-3424 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 1955
2 or more units

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 1955
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 3416-3424 Taraval Street, located in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, is a 12-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1955 and currently owned by K-bob Co. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including gas line replacements for units #2 and #5 in 2022 and 2018 respectively, and the installation of a new fence in 2022 to address a safety violation. Historical maintenance issues have included periodic problems with lead paint hazards, with violations recorded in 2001 and most recently in 2015, when complaints about chipping and peeling paint were documented. The building experienced multiple violations in 2016 related to fire safety, including problems with exit pathways, alarm system maintenance, and fire extinguisher requirements, though these were referred to hearings for resolution.

The property has undergone several plumbing and electrical upgrades over the years, including an underground utility conversion completed in 2007. More recent maintenance records show attention to fencing safety issues in 2022, with the installation of a new fence following its collapse. Routine and special inspections of the building have occurred regularly, with records showing attention to various maintenance issues including bathroom waterproofing, exterior paint conditions, and safety concerns. The building's most recent documented complaints and service requests (in 2024) have primarily concerned exterior maintenance matters, including issues with garbage and debris on the property. While there have been multiple historical violations and maintenance issues over the years, most recent records indicate attention to addressing safety concerns, particularly regarding the building's fire safety systems and exterior maintenance.

Risk rating

How 3416-3424 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

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
6thpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 195 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
