Rent & eviction protection

Is 3800 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 1907
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, seven-unit residential building at 3800 22nd St in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1907, has undergone significant recent developments and experienced several safety-related incidents. Most notably, in 2021, a major structural change occurred with the conversion of a former retail laundromat space into a daycare center, which included new restrooms and interior finishes, along with comprehensive fire alarm system upgrades to accommodate the new use. This followed earlier 2020 work on the building's structural integrity, including a residential soft-story retrofit and replacement of posts in the first floor and basement levels, which had a substantial permitted construction cost of $285,602.

The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, with eight building permits issued in the past seven years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2021. There have been three recent fire-related incidents (2023-2025), though none resulted in injuries or fatalities: two smoke detector malfunctions in October 2023 and a contained cooking fire in April 2025. The property has generated 52 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the majority occurring recently in July 2026 regarding parking violations, though responding officers were often unable to locate the reported issues. A single Department of Building Inspection complaint was filed in 2021 regarding unposted construction permits for what appeared to be foundation and structural work, though this complaint is no longer active.

Risk rating

How 3800 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1150 are predicted to be safer.
