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 3818 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 1900
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 two-unit multi-family residential building at 3818 22nd Street, owned by Christopher Marcoux, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2024 and late 2023, the property received substantial exterior upgrades, including a completed reroofing project costing $14,273 and replacement of approximately 300 square feet of exterior siding. The building's electrical infrastructure received attention in 2004-2007, with major enhancements including an underground service conversion to 150A with three meters, installation of new panels, and upgrades to common area lighting systems. A garage door opener installation was completed in 2007.

The property has encountered recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, particularly between 2022-2024, with multiple incidents of driveway blocking documented through 311 calls. Most of these incidents involved a Toyota RAV4, suggesting a particular pattern of parking violations in the area. Additionally, a tree maintenance issue was reported in January 2023, with DPW Operations indicating that a tree would be removed and replaced, though it was not considered a high-risk safety concern. Historical records show earlier modifications, including a cancelled permit for window replacement in 2005 and a plumbing removal project from 1991 that expired. The building appears to be in good standing with recent maintenance and improvements, particularly regarding its roof and exterior condition.

Risk rating

How 3818 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
28thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 920 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
