Rent & eviction protection

Is 3526-3528 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 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 3526-3528 22nd Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building built in 1900, currently owned by Jonathan R & S Dirrenberger. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements in recent years, most notably in 2021 when a $50,000 project was completed that included replacing windows, upgrading doors, modifying the garage door, installing a new electric panel, and adding a gas furnace and tankless water heater for unit 3528. More recent work includes a roof beam replacement in December 2023 and the installation of a new heat pump and 200-amp electrical service in early 2023. The building has a history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations noted between 2019 and 2024, including issues with alarm systems, blocked exits, and emergency lighting. Violations from October 2023 and November 2024 remain open regarding alarm system maintenance and documentation. The property has also received several plumbing and electrical upgrades, including a complete electrical wiring upgrade on the third floor in 2022 and various plumbing improvements between 2010 and 2023, such as bathroom and kitchen renovations, sewer trap replacement, and gas pipe replacement. Although there were some building code violations in 2014 regarding fresh air inlets and house traps, these were abated by November 2014.

Recent maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building have been documented through 311 calls, primarily related to pavement defects and parking violations, with several cases remaining open as of 2024. The most recent service requests include pavement defects (February and December 2024) and a graffiti issue (September 2024). The building's history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, though the recurring fire safety violations suggest ongoing challenges in compliance with fire safety requirements. The property has received substantial improvements to its infrastructure over the past few years, including modernized electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and energy-efficient features like the heat pump and tankless water heater.

Risk rating

How 3526-3528 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
98thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 26 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.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.
