Rent & eviction protection

Is 3434-3436 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.

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 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 Chau Family Trust-owned property at 3434-3436 22nd Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1900, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a reroofing project in late 2022 costing $18,000. In 2005, the building received foundation reinforcement work on its left side due to adjacent construction at 3438-40 22nd Street, and historical records from 1996 show tile work was performed in the kitchen and bathroom areas.

The building has experienced multiple infrastructure challenges in recent years, with two recorded sewage backup incidents in early 2020 that required attention from PUC Sewer Operations. The property's location has been subject to recurring parking and access issues, particularly in 2024, with several reports of driveway blocking and illegal parking, though most of these incidents were either observed but not validated or resulted in citations. The surrounding area has experienced occasional street maintenance challenges, as evidenced by reports of waste and garbage issues in 2021 and 2022, as well as a documented incident of sidewalk blockage caused by a residential totter. While the building has maintained its structural integrity through necessary foundation work and received regular maintenance such as roofing updates, the recurring sewage issues and parking concerns appear to be the most significant quality-of-life factors affecting the property.

Risk rating

How 3434-3436 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
66thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 435 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 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.

Neighborhood location

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