Rent & eviction protection

Is 3412 17Th 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.

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

This 24-unit multi-family residential building, located at 3412 17th Street in Mission Dolores, has a history dating back to 1907 and is currently owned by 594 Valencia LLC. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most recent major work being a $75,500 fire alarm system upgrade approved in December 2024 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building suffered minor fire damage in June 2019, which required repairs to framing and sheetrock, including work on the back stairs, though these repairs were completed promptly. The ground floor restaurant space has seen substantial improvements over the years, including a 2018 renovation valued at $120,000 to update restrooms, kitchen equipment, and dining areas, with subsequent related work in 2019-2020 for kitchen enlargements and ADA compliance.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance and compliance challenges, including several fire safety violations between 2021-2024 related to shared spaces, alarm systems, and permit requirements. There was a notable period of tenant concern in 2019 regarding heat issues and a fire-damaged stairway cavity. A series of building violations from 2016 required attention to water damage, ceiling repair, plumbing issues, and the installation of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were all abated by June 2016. The property is classified as having completed its mandatory soft-story seismic improvements under Tier 4 requirements, and its most recent fire safety inspections show both open and resolved violations, including a December 2023 sleeping area requirement violation and a March 2023 permit-related violation that was subsequently abated.

Risk rating

How 3412 17Th 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 783 are predicted to be safer.
