Rent & eviction protection

Is 3482-3488 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.

Built 1907
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 3482-3488 17th Street in Mission Dolores is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Peter Boesch Revocable Trust For D. The building's most significant recent issues appear to stem from 2023-2024, with multiple incidents of street cleanliness concerns, including reports of human waste, furniture debris, and graffiti on the sidewalk. There was also a notable infrastructure issue in November 2023 regarding a missing side sewer vent cover and damaged sidewalk. The building underwent a significant series of violations in 2010 related to fire safety and emergency access, including egress obstructions and the presence of a fixed wood utility ladder, though these were all properly abated by April 2012. Earlier maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, with a reroofing project completed in 1988 and prior complaints about clogged rain gutters addressed between 2006-2009. The property has required several routine inspections and responded to basic maintenance issues over the years, with records showing all violations and complaints have been resolved through proper channels. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with external maintenance and neighborhood conditions, while internal safety concerns from the past have been properly addressed.

Risk rating

How 3482-3488 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

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
54thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 368 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
