Rent & eviction protection

Is 3709-3711 20Th 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 1900

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 3709-3711 20th Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Paul A Disangro Living Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, including a major renovation in 2005 costing $87,000 that involved deck structure removal and window replacements, and an electrical upgrade in 2004 converting overhead to underground 200-amp service. The property has faced some compliance issues, most notably in 2016 when two complaints were filed regarding unpermitted construction work in the backyard involving fence installation, concrete work, retaining wall construction, and demolition of an outbuilding.

The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with documented sewage backup incidents in 2019 and 2020 that required municipal intervention. Recent maintenance activity includes tree limb removal in 2022 and debris cleanup in 2021. The property has had three sewer-related service calls in 2019-2020 and multiple instances of driveway blocking that required parking enforcement intervention between 2019 and 2024. Planning records indicate a proposed project to construct a single-car garage at the street and restore the building to a single-family dwelling status, though the current use remains classified as multi-family residential. The building's permit history shows various maintenance and improvement projects over decades, including a roof replacement in 1991 and rain gutter installation in 1983, demonstrating ongoing upkeep of the property.

Risk rating

How 3709-3711 20Th 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
63rdpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 473 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
