Rent & eviction protection

Is 3471-3475 Mission 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 1907

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-unit multi-family residential building at 3471-3475 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Celia Umberto and built in 1907, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past three decades. Recent major work includes a torch-on roof replacement completed in 2019 (cost: $4,500) and multiple sidewalk repairs. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including substantial problems with the rear stairs, windows, and water systems. Between 2000-2002, the property faced multiple housing code violations requiring repairs to windows, ceilings, plumbing, and heating systems, with most violations being abated by November 2001. These earlier issues included water damage, mold, plumbing problems, and inadequate heating, suggesting significant maintenance challenges during that period.

The property has experienced various safety and maintenance incidents, including multiple fire alarm system malfunctions, one gas leak incident (with no civilian injuries), and several 311 service calls regarding building cleanliness and street conditions. Recent building complaints from 2019-2020 have raised concerns about bathroom leaks, mold, electrical issues, and a vacant storefront, though these complaints are no longer active. Between 2022-2024, there have been several reports of street cleaning needs, graffiti, and pavement defects in the surrounding area, which have been addressed by city services. The building's earlier years (1985-1990) show records of routine maintenance work such as kitchen hood installations and multiple roof repairs, indicating ongoing building system maintenance over time.

Risk rating

How 3471-3475 Mission 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
7thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1187 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
