Rent & eviction protection

Is 3533-3535 Market 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 1940

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 1940
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 3533-3535 Market Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by the Marcias & Nguyen Family Trust. The building has undergone significant transformations and safety improvements in recent years, including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system in 2022 featuring smoke detectors, horn strobes, and monitoring equipment costing $8,000. In 2021, substantial fire sprinkler work was completed on the ground floor (ADU unit) at a cost of $11,166, following a seismic upgrade to the basement and first level completed in 2019 for $60,000. The property has seen various improvements including ADU modifications (2018-2021) with bathroom and kitchen installations, bathroom remodeling in 2013, and even addressed façade damage from a car accident in 2017.

Recent building activity includes plumbing work related to gas houseline extension in March 2024, though some permits from 2021 for ADU-related work and associated final inspections have expired. The building's history includes one notable incident from 2016 when a vehicle impacted the structure, causing moderate damage to the front corner near the garage, though this was subsequently repaired by August 2017. As of late 2023 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of parking violations and graffiti in the vicinity, with the most recent incidents being regarding illegal parking and graffiti in October 2023, though these are external issues not directly related to building safety or maintenance. The property maintains active compliance with building codes, particularly regarding fire safety, as evidenced by the various permits and inspections related to fire alarm and sprinkler system installations.

Risk rating

How 3533-3535 Market 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
98thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 26 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
