Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3571-3573 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1911
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 3571-3573 17th Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. Built in 1911 and currently owned by Jermaine Dennis & Renee, this apartment building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Recent building permits show an ongoing issue with building maintenance, with the most recent open service request from March 2024 regarding a missing side sewer vent cover. The building has received various updates, including the installation of six energy-efficient vinyl windows in 2009 (completed) and a complete reroofing project in 2008 (permitted at a cost of $9,500). An abandoned fireplace repair permit from 1990 that ultimately expired shows attention to safety features in the past.

Recent environmental and safety concerns around the property include three graffiti incidents between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent occurring in December 2024, though this was classified as "not offensive" and was addressed by city services. There have been recurring issues with street and sidewalk cleanliness in the vicinity, with multiple 311 calls reporting loose garbage and debris between 2020 and 2024. The building's immediate area has experienced several parking-related incidents, including blocked driveways in July 2023 and October 2021, both of which were resolved through citations. While most issues have been addressed through proper channels, there remain some ongoing concerns such as the open sewer vent cover request from March 2024 and periodic sanitation matters that require attention.

Risk rating

How 3571-3573 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
50thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 400 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
