Rent & eviction protection

Is 2624-2626 3Rd 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 1941
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-story multi-family residential building at 2624-2626 3rd Street, owned by 2624 3rd St LLC, was constructed in 1941 and contains 4 units. The property has a significant history of code violations and unpermitted modifications, most notably in 2007-2008 when violations were recorded regarding unauthorized construction, exposed wiring, insufficient ceiling height, unsafe egress, and illegal living spaces including an unauthorized kitchen and bathroom. These issues led to multiple notices of violation (NOVs) and ultimately required remediation work in 2010 to restore proper safety features, including handrails and ceiling heights. The building underwent several maintenance and improvement projects between 2007 and 2011, including siding replacement, window upgrades, and compliance work, with costs ranging from $2,500 to $20,000.

More recent history shows ongoing concerns with the property's condition, including multiple fire alarm activations (mostly false alarms) between 2021 and 2023, and various complaints regarding illegal parking and sidewalk-related issues in 2023-2024. A notable housing complaint in 2007 documented inadequate facilities and maintenance issues, including heating problems and sanitation concerns, though these were reportedly addressed by 2011. The building's permit history shows both completed and expired permits for various improvements, indicating a pattern of addressing maintenance issues over time. While most historical violations have been marked as abated, the property has experienced recurring issues with fire alarm system malfunctions in recent years, suggesting ongoing concerns with building systems.

Risk rating

How 2624-2626 3Rd 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
19th percentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 are predicted to be safer.

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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.1%
Moderate concern 38.9%
Severe concern 15.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
