Rent & eviction protection

Is 3763-3765 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 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 3763-3765 17th Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing three units and currently owned by Christopher Granger. The building has undergone several significant renovations over recent years, with the most notable being a comprehensive remodel in 2020-2021 that included the addition of a new bathroom, conversion of a window to a door, replacement of water heaters with tankless units, and various plumbing and electrical updates. The property has also seen infrastructure improvements including re-roofing work in 2022 (cost: $9,300) and the installation of a mini-split heat pump system. Historical maintenance records show previous re-roofing work was done in 1998, indicating ongoing upkeep of the building's essential systems.

The building has experienced several code violations and complaints over its history, with the most recent significant issues occurring in 2011 regarding improper storage and fire safety concerns, including fire extinguisher maintenance and fire proofing requirements. Earlier violations from 2004 and 2008 primarily involved safety and maintenance issues such as stair repairs, fire extinguisher requirements, and lead paint notifications, all of which were eventually abated. Recent maintenance concerns have been minimal, with the most notable issues being sidewalk defects reported in early 2022, which were resolved by March 2023. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, primarily relating to parking enforcement and bicycle lane blocking, though these are external to the building's actual maintenance and safety conditions.

Risk rating

How 3763-3765 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
56thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 562 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
