Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3398 22Nd 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 1937
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1937
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 3398 22nd Street, owned by Josef E & Margarit J Hanhan, was constructed in 1937 and currently contains 4 residential units plus commercial space. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over its history, most notably between 1998-1999 when multiple water-related problems were reported, including leaks affecting tenants' apartments, kitchen water damage, and defective fixtures. More recent concerns emerged between 2007-2013, centered around an unpermitted ATM installation that led to violation proceedings, which were ultimately resolved through a legalization permit in 2007 that cost $2,000. In 2008, multiple violations were documented relating to fire safety (fire extinguisher maintenance), sanitation (general cleanliness and combustible lint removal), and unspecified miscellaneous issues, though these were also abated by 2013.

The building underwent planning approval processes in recent years, with permits issued for the legalization of the ATM and proposals for significant modifications including the addition of three apartments and garages, though the latter project is uncertain based on the available data. The property has also experienced recurring issues with graffiti and street cleanliness in recent months/years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for service between late 2024 and early 2025, though these appear to be routine urban maintenance issues. While the building's violation history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges over time, it's noteworthy that most documented violations have been resolved, and there are no active violation cases as of now.

Risk rating

How 3398 22Nd 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
15thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1086 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

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