Rent & eviction protection

Is 332-338 Capp 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 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 332-338 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, built in 1907, has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building completed a substantial fire alarm system upgrade costing nearly $48,000 to bring it into compliance with current fire code requirements, following a series of fire-related complaints about extinguishers and alarms between 2012 and 2022, all of which were resolved with conditions corrected. The building has also successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit (classified as Tier 3) in 2016-2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent building maintenance inspections in October 2023 revealed several violations related to fire safety, including issues with combustible storage and requirements for smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, though these were abated by December 2023. The building's electrical infrastructure received an upgrade in 2013 with the installation of a 400-amp service with 13 meters. Historical records show multiple routine inspections and some maintenance issues over the years, including a significant sewage incident in 2003 involving the adjacent property at 326 Capp Street. While there have been recurring issues with graffiti on and around the property between 2015 and 2021, most recently in 2019-2021, many of these were resolved promptly. The property has maintained active management of safety systems, as evidenced by regular fire safety inspections and prompt responses to violations, though the building's history shows a pattern of periodic fire safety and maintenance compliance issues that required attention and correction.

Risk rating

How 332-338 Capp 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
