Rent & eviction protection

Is 34-36 Malta Dr 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 1973

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.

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 34-36 Malta Drive is a single-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Glen Park, owned by the Dao Family Trust since 2007 and constructed in 1973. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, with the most substantial being a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovation completed in 2015 valued at $30,000, which included extensive electrical work and plumbing upgrades. Earlier maintenance includes termite repairs in 2002, repairs to a wood deck in 1992 (permit expired), and reroofing in 1991. More recent infrastructural work includes the replacement of the gas water heater in 2022 and installation of a new gas houseline in 2019, though both permits have expired.

The property has been the subject of multiple 311 calls in 2024, with the majority relating to pavement defects including issues with sidewalks, curbs, and streets that remain open and unresolved as of August 2024. There have also been concerns regarding noise (July 2024) and various parking-related incidents, including illegal parking and driveway blocking, which were resolved. The property's immediate vicinity has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris (November 2024). The Dao Family Trust executed two tenant buyouts in 2016, each for $20,000, at a different address (154 Stillings Avenue), indicating previous investment in unit improvements or transitions.

Risk rating

How 34-36 Malta Dr'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
64thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 131 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
