Rent & eviction protection

Is 3328-3330 21St 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 1978

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 1978
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-story multi-family residential building at 3328-3330 21st Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1978 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant modifications over its lifetime, including three documented horizontal additions in 1989, 1992 (both of which have expired permits), and 1995 (expired permit), as well as an electrical upgrade in 2004 that converted overhead power to underground service with a 200-amp service installation. In recent years, there have been recurring issues with vehicle parking in the vicinity of the property, particularly during 2024, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on the sidewalk or blocking driveways, though in most cases officers were unable to locate the vehicles. A noteworthy infrastructure issue was reported in October 2021 regarding a collapsed sidewalk that required referral to the Planning Department due to concerns about an apparently overextended driveway. Additionally, there were two abandoned vehicle reports in 2017, both of which were resolved when the vehicles were gone upon officer arrival.

The property underwent significant improvements in 2018 with the construction of a 6-foot high metal fence at the front of the property, which was approved through the Liberty Hill Historic District planning process. The building's maintenance history includes regular upkeep such as reroofing work from 1995 and various electrical system upgrades. The area has experienced periodic street and sidewalk maintenance needs, as evidenced by a general cleaning request in February 2021 and the aforementioned sidewalk defect report in October 2021. While the building's major systems appear to have received necessary updates over time, the recurring parking violations and occasional infrastructure issues suggest some challenges in the immediate vicinity, though most of these have been promptly addressed through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 3328-3330 21St 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 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 639 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

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