Bayview, SF 94124 5358009 3 units · 2 fl · 1929

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 5134-5136 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 1929
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 5134-5136 3rd Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, containing three units plus a ground-level store. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly in 2022, with comprehensive renovations including bathroom remodels on both the second and third floors, new quartz countertops installation, and electrical upgrades including new panels and outlets. The building's plumbing infrastructure was also substantially updated in 2022, with multiple bathroom renovations involving new fixtures and layouts. Historical records show some concerns that have been addressed, including a 2018 violation for non-compliance with the Commercial Water Conservation Ordinance, which was abated within three months. An earlier complaint from 1995 regarding faulty wiring and bathroom ceiling issues was resolved within weeks. The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project in 2005, and the removal of a general advertising sign in 2013.

Recent activity around the property primarily consists of external maintenance issues, including multiple reports of graffiti on public sidewalks and transit shelters in late 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. There were two fire department responses recorded - one for a carbon monoxide detector activation (which turned out to be a false alarm) and another false alarm call, neither of which involved civilian injuries. The property has maintained regular compliance with building codes in recent years, with no active violations or unresolved complaints on record, and has undergone significant infrastructure improvements that suggest proactive maintenance and upgrading of residential facilities.

Risk rating

How 5134-5136 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

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
51stpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 187 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
