Rent & eviction protection

Is 3415 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.

15+ years since occupancy
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, 21-unit multi-family residential building at 3415 22nd Street in Noe Valley, owned by Robert A. Imhoff, has significant recent concerns requiring attention. Most notably, as of June 26, 2023, there are multiple active violations concerning interior surfaces, electrical systems, and weatherproofing, including issues with floor coverings, fire escape maintenance, fire-proofing materials, and the requirement for a Section 604 compliance affidavit. The building is also currently classified as Non-Compliant under the Tier 4 soft-story seismic retrofit program, with an active complaint filed in December 2022. The property has undergone various permitted improvements over the years, including a ground floor apartment remodel in 2020 and backflow prevention system installation, but several soft-story retrofit attempts have either been withdrawn or remain incomplete.

Historical records show recurring maintenance issues and violations, particularly in recent years. In 2024, there were two fire safety citations issued regarding permits and sleeping area requirements. Previous fire safety concerns included violations related to blocked exits, alarm systems, and extinguishers between 2010 and 2018. The building has undergone various renovations and repairs, including kitchen remodels in 2017, sewer repairs in 2014, and electrical system updates, though some permits show as expired or completed without clear resolution of associated issues. Recent 311 calls (September-December 2024) indicate ongoing concerns with sidewalk conditions and cleanliness around the property, though these are mostly external issues not directly affecting resident safety. While some construction work has been properly permitted and completed, there have been allegations of unpermitted work, particularly during 2017-2018, though these complaints have since been resolved.

Risk rating

How 3415 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 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1879 are predicted to be safer.
