Rent & eviction protection

Is 34-36 Sheridan 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.

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 1908
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 Sheridan Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. Built in 1908 and currently owned by Pamela Mejia, this flats-and-duplex-style building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events throughout its history. The most notable period of concern occurred between 2000-2002, when a rotted and potentially dangerous rear wall issue was identified and subsequently resolved through a $40,000 repair project in 2000, following a violation notice. More recent history shows multiple garage-related safety and code compliance issues in 2006, including unauthorized modifications to the garage door, improper storage of paint and flammable materials, and unprotected electrical wiring, which led to violation notices and required corrective actions totaling approximately $7,900. The electrical system received upgrades in March 2007, including a new panel and lighting installation.

The building underwent a complete reroofing in 2002 (approximately $10,000). More recently, in June 2019, there was a complaint regarding noise from construction equipment, and there have been several building safety and maintenance issues reported in the surrounding area through 311 calls, particularly regarding street cleanliness and parking concerns. The most recent building-related complaints from 2024-2025 primarily involve sidewalk maintenance and parking violations in the vicinity of the property, though these are not direct issues with the building itself. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the resolution of the 2006 violations and has not had any active building violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 34-36 Sheridan 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.
