Rent & eviction protection

Is 352 Cumberland 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1909
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

RH1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1909
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 three-unit residential building at 352 Cumberland Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1909 and is currently owned by She Chang & Feng Bingbing. The two-story flats and duplex property has undergone several significant renovations over its history, including a major foundation strengthening and plumbing upgrade in 1989, window replacement and roofing work in 1991, and the installation of rooftop solar panels with an electrical service upgrade in 2013. The building experienced several compliance issues in the mid-1990s and 2000s, including a complaint about an illegal front basement unit and unauthorized conversions between unit configurations, though these violations were eventually abated by November 2007.

Recent history shows ongoing concerns about parking violations near the property, with multiple citations issued between 2023-2024 for sidewalk parking, driveway blocking, and other illegal parking activities, suggesting a persistent challenge with parking management in the area. The most recent notable event was a tenant buyout at a neighboring address (360 Cumberland Street) in August 2023 involving two tenants and a payment of $95,000. The building's permit history reveals completed projects including the removal of a wet bar and stair platform in 1995, with some permits from 2007 remaining in expired status. Regular maintenance and upgrades, such as the 2013 solar panel installation and various historical improvements, indicate ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure, though some permits from earlier work are noted as expired.

Risk rating

How 352 Cumberland 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
24thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 971 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
