Rent & eviction protection

Is 3502-3508 16Th 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 1900

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 1900
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 3502-3508 16th Street is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing 10 residential units above commercial space, currently owned by Brian & Deanna Moore Living Trust. Recent significant work includes an issued permit in November 2024 for rebuilding decks and stairs at the rear and side of the building with an estimated cost of $50,000, and plumbing work for a prep sink installation in December 2024. The building has undergone substantial renovations between 2013-2022, including bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, furnace installations, and ADA compliance upgrades. Multiple permits were issued in 2023 to confirm the building's legal use.

Historical issues from the building's past include a notable cluster of violations in 2000 related to moisture damage, mold, interior surfaces, and plumbing issues, though these were all abated by 2001. More recent complaints include an active 2023 complaint regarding common areas (status not yet resolved), and several past complaints (2010-2015) concerning various maintenance and operational issues, including ventilation problems and construction debris handling. The property has experienced several infrastructure upgrades over the years, including roof work in 2015, and a change of use from a café to body piercing services in 2017. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to graffiti and garbage, with some historical fire safety concerns recorded in 2009-2014, though none resulted in injuries. The most recent building improvements indicate ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems, including heating, plumbing, and structural elements.

Risk rating

How 3502-3508 16Th 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
18thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1048 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location
