Rent & eviction protection

Is 3332-3334 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

The property at 3332-3334 17th Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923. Owned by Woo Maythane L, this Inner Mission building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably a January 2023 incident where a car crashed into the garage structure, causing substantial damage that required temporary shoring by SFFD and subsequent structural repair work estimated at $20,000. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded in 2011 related to interior surfaces, electrical systems, and water damage, as well as problems with mold, damaged ceilings and walls, and lead paint hazards. These violations were addressed through various repairs, including stair replacements and electrical wiring improvements.

The commercial storefront portion of the building has faced ongoing vacancy issues, resulting in multiple violations regarding the vacant commercial storefront ordinance between 2018 and 2023. In 2008, electrical wiring repairs were completed to bring the systems up to code. Recent 311 calls from early 2025 show recurring issues with street maintenance, including reports of graffiti, garbage, and encampments near the property, though these external issues are not directly related to the building's condition. The property has experienced several false fire alarms and system malfunctions over the years, but no actual fires or significant injuries have been recorded. A planning record from December 2024 indicates ongoing efforts to address the garage door replacement and access issues along Hoff Street.

Risk rating

How 3332-3334 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
7thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2213 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
